1983 USFL Season
By Patrick Mondout
The inaugural USFL regular season was dominated by
the Philadelphia Stars, despite all the stars George Allen had signed in
Chicago.
Each division winner plus one wildcard (the Chicago Blitz) qualified
for the playoffs. Philadelphia barely survived a three overtime marathon
against the Blitz before losing to Bobby Hebert and the Michigan Panthers
in the Championship Game at Mile High Stadium in Denver.

We have a USFL Forum! Our sites have always been by you and about you. If
you check
our TV Forums or our Technology & Science forums, you'll find literally thousands of messages from fans
of 1970s TV shows, survivors of hurricanes or aircraft accidents, etc. from all over the world sharing their memories, asking
questions, making comments. Our baseball section is new, but don't let
that stop you from sharing

now-forgotten stadiums, etc. Of course you can also ask questions, post
trivia, or just read what
others are saying.
