Notes edit

  • ^ a b The United Soccer Leagues took over operations of the Calgary Storm following financial troubles by the ownership group and the team finished the season as Team Calgary.[29]
  • ^ On February 14, it was announced that a tentative deal had been reached with the City of Portland in which Portland Family Entertainment (PFE) would be dissolved and a new group, Metropolitan Sports (a subset of PFE investors), would take over ownership of the Timbers and the Portland Beavers baseball club.[30] The Timbers referred to Metropolitan Sports as the owner throughout much of the 2003 season. However, Metropolitan Sports was not able to secure the required funding and the deal was never completed.
