Uncommon card · No. 119717

The Tampa Bay Rowdies are an American professional soccer team based in St. Petersburg, Florida. The club was founded in 2008 and first took the pitch in 2010. Since 2017, the Rowdies have been members of the USL Championship in the second tier of the American soccer pyramid. They formerly played in USSF Division 2 (in 2010) and the North American Soccer League (NASL) (from 2011 to 2016), which were also second-tier leagues. The Rowdies play their home games at Al Lang Stadium on St. Petersburg's downtown waterfront. The current club is a phoenix club of the original Tampa Bay Rowdies, who were active from 1975 until 1993, most notably in the original North American Soccer League. The original owners of the current club announced their intention to use the old Rowdies' trademarks at their introductory press conference in 2008, but licensing issues forced the new club to use the name FC Tampa Bay until December 2011, when it gained full rights to the Rowdies name and other intellectual property...
