1975 NASL Indoor tournament

Though the Dallas Tornado had won the NASL's 1971 Hoc-Soc Tournament{{cite news |last=Flachsbart |first=Harold |title=Fans Get A Kick Out Of Hoc-Soc|date=March 20, 1971|newspaper=St. Louis Post-Dispatch|url=https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/140197378/|page=6|access-date=August 8, 2016}} and the Atlanta Apollos staged two league sanctioned pilot matches at the Omni in 1973,{{cite news |title=Indoor soccer 'pilot contest' pits Montreal against Atlanta|date=May 2, 1973|newspaper=Rome News-Tribune|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=348&dat=19730502&id=6-wtAAAAIBAJ&sjid=qDUDAAAAIBAJ&pg=3086,116270&hl=en|page=8A|access-date=August 2, 2016}}{{cite news |last=Yannis |first=Alex |title=Cosmos Hire an Ex-Commuter|date=June 23, 1973|newspaper=New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1973/06/24/archives/cosmos-hire-an-excommuter.html?_r=0|access-date=August 2, 2016}} the birth of the modern game in North America can be traced to 1974, when three indoor exhibitions against the touring Soviet Red Army of Moscow club took place. The games were played on a field the size of a hockey rink, with goals 4 feet high by 16 feet wide. Much like hockey, matches were played in three 20 minute periods, allowed free substitution, and featured six man sides (five field players and a goalkeeper). The Soviets beat an outmatched NASL All-Star team 8–4 on February 7 at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens. The second game against the reigning champion Philadelphia Atoms on February 11, is considered by many as the watershed event of North American indoor soccer. The game stayed close into the third period, though the Red Army squad eventually pulled away 6–3.{{cite web | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYhz1EvkzJg | title=- YouTube | website=YouTube }} On February 13 the Russians closed out their tour with an 11–4 throttling of the St. Louis Stars in Missouri before an impressive crowd of 12,241.{{cite news |last=Mueller |first=Gary |title=Gritty Winter Impressive For Outclassed Stars|date=February 15, 1974|newspaper=St. Louis Post-Dispatch|url=https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/139620090/|page=30|access-date=August 6, 2016}}{{cite web|url=http://soccerstats.us/teams/red-army/ |title=Red Army | SoccerStats.us |access-date=2014-05-18 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140518213232/http://soccerstats.us/teams/red-army/ |archive-date=2014-05-18 }}{{cite web|url=http://www.nasljerseys.com/Friendlies/Teams/StarsStl%20Friendlies.htm|title=NASL-St. Louis Stars Friendlies|publisher=nasljerseys.com|access-date=2015-06-24}}

In spite of the losses, and because another 11,790 curious fans packed Philadelphia's Spectrum to watch this "new" game, the NASL began considering indoor soccer's potential to increase fan interest in the sport as a whole. A month and seven days later a Spectrum crowd of 6,314 turned out to watch the Atoms defeat the New York Cosmos 5–3. With this, franchises also recognized that they could generate more revenue from players already under contract. The league hinted at having a 10-game indoor season in early 1975,{{cite news |title=Indoor Plan For Soccer Set in '75|date=April 7, 1974|newspaper=New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1974/04/07/archives/indoor-plan-for-soccer-set-in-75.html|access-date=August 2, 2016}} but by autumn eventually scaled that plan back.{{cite news |last=Chick |first=Bob |title=Soccer: A Small Season For The Great Indoors|date=September 19, 1992|newspaper=Evening Independent|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=950&dat=19741123&id=WF9QAAAAIBAJ&sjid=LFgDAAAAIBAJ&pg=2381,2208704|page=1-C|access-date=October 3, 2016}} The following year the NASL staged an indoor tournament: sixteen of the twenty teams participated. It was divided into four regional tournaments, with the regional winners meeting in San Francisco for the overall title in a similar format to the NCAA college basketball tournament. In the regionals, two teams would play each other, and then winners would play losers in a two-game series. The team with the best record advanced to the semifinals; in the event of teams having identical records, the side with the best total goal differential advanced out of the region. That first year the goals stayed 4 x 16 and the games remained divided into three 20 minute frames like those played against the Red Army club the previous year.{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/usadave/usindoor.html |title=History of Indoor Soccer in the USA |publisher=Rsssf.com |access-date=2013-11-04}}{{cite web|url=http://mytampabayrowdies.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html |title=TAMPA BAY ROWDIES APPRECIATION BLOG: 01/04/09 - 01/05/09 |publisher=Mytampabayrowdies.blogspot.com |access-date=2013-11-04}}{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=888&dat=19750312&id=EUFSAAAAIBAJ&sjid=fHkDAAAAIBAJ&pg=1426,3592977|title=St. Petersburg Times - Google News Archive Search|access-date=2015-06-24}}{{cite web|url=http://mytampabayrowdies.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html |title=TAMPA BAY ROWDIES APPRECIATION BLOG: 01/03/11 - 01/04/11 |publisher=Mytampabayrowdies.blogspot.com |access-date=2013-11-04}}

The San Jose Earthquakes defeated the newly formed Tampa Bay Rowdies 8–5 in the Championship Final. Paul Child of San Jose scored seven goals in the regionals,{{cite magazine|author=Tex Maule |url=https://www.si.com/vault/1975/03/03/616227/the-sport-that-came-in-from-the-cold |title=The Sport That Came In From The Cold |magazine=Sports Illustrated|date=1975-03-03 |access-date=2015-12-17}} and added another seven during the final four to lead all goal scorers.

In addition to the Region 4 and Final Four tournament games (eight contests in all), the San Jose Earthquakes also hosted two other indoor matches at the Cow Palace as tune-ups for the impending tournament. The first one was dubbed the "Calamity Cup" because it pitted the Earthquakes against the Tornado. The second was against their in-state rival, Los Angeles Aztecs. The two matches drew a combined 20,908 spectators and San Jose won both.{{cite news |last=Chittenden |first=Ed |title=Cow Palace Hit|date=February 8, 1975|newspaper=The Times (San Mateo, CA)|url=https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/39033638/|page=23|access-date=July 28, 2016}}{{cite news |title=Tourney Next For 'Quakes|date=February 15, 1975|newspaper=The Times (San Mateo, CA)|url=https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/39034736/|page=16|access-date=July 28, 2016}} In another match, the Rochester Lancers hosted the Toronto Metros-Croatia on March 29 in front of 2,562 fans at the Rochester War Memorial.
