The team was established in 1983 from the defunct Denver Avalanche.[1] The Stars hold the record for the largest crowd to witness an indoor soccer game—21,728 people—from game 7 of the 1987 MISL Championship, which they lost to the Dallas Sidekicks in overtime. Tacoma was the only team in MISL history to defeat the perennial champion San Diego Sockers in a MISL playoff series.

A new team named after the MISL Stars began play in the Professional Arena Soccer League in 2003. The team eventually dropped down to the minor league Premier Arena Soccer League and later Western Indoor Soccer League before moving to the Major Arena Soccer League[2] in 2015.
