History
On July 13, 1989, Milan Mandaric announced the formation of the St. Louis Storm at the Missouri Athletic Club. Mandaric, a Yugoslav-born technology businessman and mechanical engineer, had previously owned the San Jose Earthquakes of the North American Soccer League from 1974 to 1978. The club began play with the 1989–90 MISL season. Don Popovic, a Yugoslav native who had spent three seasons with the St. Louis Stars during his playing career, was hired as the head coach.[1]
Both the MISL and the Storm folded after the 1991–92 season.
