Although the Steam were announced in 2008 as one of the ten teams for the LFL's inaugural 2009–10 season, but reportedly had issues with finding an venue. The team was then reported to be moving to Charlotte, North Carolina,[1] but that team did not launch in 2009 either.
LFL's Atlanta franchise originally began as the proposed St. Louis Saints.[2] The team name was selected by fans in a vote.[2] Team tryouts took place on June 24, 2012, at the Vetta Sports Club Soccerdome.[3] Among the people trying out was former soccer player and 2006 Atlantic 10 Conference Rookie of the Year and 2008 St. Louis University leading scorer Julia Brandenburg.[4] After negotiations to use the Family Arena fell through,[5] the LFL suspended the Saints indefinitely, and they were replaced by a new Atlanta team.[6] In its first game, the Steam was shut out by the Jacksonville Breeze, 48–0.[7]
