Outdoor play
Although the Power was primarily known only as an indoor team, in the summer of 1992 they formed a full outdoor squad.[3] Home matches were played at St. Charles High School's Norris Stadium and at Hanson Stadium on the Northwest Side.[4] In addition to several exhibition matches[5] they participated in the 1992 Professional Cup alongside five APSL and two CSL clubs. Chicago also took part in another international series dubbed Copa Chicago '92[6][7] which included Liga MX's Tecos F.C. and Tigres UANL and the APSL's Miami Freedom.[8] They finished last in both competitions. In eight outdoor matches that year the Power won only once, lost five times, while drawing twice.[9] In 1993 several other APSL clubs joined them in summer outdoor play.[10][11]
