The Philadelphia Stars (later Baltimore Stars) were a professional American football team which played in the United States Football League in the mid-1980s.
The Stars began in Philadelphia in the 1983 season. They played their home games at Veterans Stadium, and made it to the 1983 USFL championship game before losing. They remained in Philadelphia for the 1984 season, but were forced to relocate postseason home games to Franklin Field. The team relocated to Maryland for the 1985 season. Although Baltimore was their home base, their home games were played at College Park, Maryland near Washington, DC. The Stars had much on-field success, winning both the 1984 and 1985 USFL championships.
