"A rematch of the 1984 Semi-Final Playoff only this time the game is played in Birmingham. The Stallions 13-5 record was the second best record in the USFL in 1985. Only the Oakland Invaders 13-4-1 had a better record. The Stars record of 10-7-1 was embarrassing to this premier franchise and they were out to prove that they were still the same team that went 29-6 in the previous two seasons, The winner faces the Oakland Invaders in the Championship Game

Baltimore is the only city that has won the NFL Championship including three Super Bowls, the CFL Championship the Grey Cup and the USFL Championship in 1985.
Baltimore is a crazy football city as far as how much they love pro football, that only lost the Colts because of the poor Colts management under Bob Irsay and that they weren’t given enough time to replace Baltimore Memorial Stadium and build a new stadium for the Colts. Or the City of Baltimore and the State of Maryland failed to make that happen.
Baltimore did not lose the Colts because they longer wanted NFL football and no longer wanted the Colts. And you can give me the poor attendance figures of the Colts the last few seasons all you want. The fact is that the Colts were one of the worst franchises in the NFL in the early 1980s under Irsay and company. And that is what Indianapolis got in 1984 and what Colts fans were not going to support and subsidize.
Baltimore thanks to the USFL and later the CFL proved that it was a major league pro football city and market, even with the Redskins 40 miles south in Washington and the Eagles 90 miles north in Philadelphia. So every pro football man in Baltimore and the greater state of Maryland, should thank of the USFL and CFL for those opportunities.
