Baltimore Comets

The Baltimore Comets were a professional soccer team based in Baltimore, Maryland. Founded in 1974, the Comets were an expansion team that played two seasons in the North American Soccer League. The team originally played its home matches at Memorial Stadium but moved to Burdick Field located at Towson University during the 1975 season. At the conclusion of the 1975 NASL season the team moved to San Diego, California, rebranding as the Jaws.

History
Looking to build off what was considered positive momentum in public interest in professional soccer, in January 1974 the North American Soccer League announced Baltimore as one of six cities awarded an expansion team for the upcoming 1974 season. Former Baltimore Bays head coach Doug Millward returned to the city to manage the team. The team ended the season in last place in the Eastern Division with a record of 9 wins and 13 losses and an average attendance of 2,641, the lowest in the league. Following the season, the team was sold and moved to San Diego. ==Media coverage==
