The Tacoma Stars were a franchise in the original Major Indoor Soccer League. The team existed from 1983 - 1992 and is notable for two reasons. First, the team holds the record for the largest crowd to witness an indoor soccer game with 21,728 people packing the Tacoma Dome to see Tacoma fall to the Dallas Sidekicks 4-3 (OT) in Game 7 of the 1986-1987 MISL Championship. Also, Tacoma was the only team in MISL history to defeat the original San Diego Sockers in a MISL playoff series.
