GUNSLINGERS TRIVIA
--
The Gunslingers owe their existence in part to the inability of Thomas Scallen to secure a USFL franchise for the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.
--
Initially Minneapolis was to be awarded a USFL franchise owned by Scallen, but at the last minute a problem arose with regard to the team's use of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. 
--
The problem stalled the league's announcement that the USFL was coming to Minneapolis - and eventually killed it, as the problem never was resolved. 
--
The Gunslingers would be the sixth and final expansion franchise awarded - but only because the Minneapolis bid to join the USFL drown in a sea of bureaucratic red tape.
