The Sacramento Gold Miners were a Canadian football team based in Sacramento, California. The franchise was the first American team in the Canadian Football League. The Gold Miners inherited a home stadium, front office staff and much of the roster of the Sacramento Surge from the defunct World League of American Football. The team played its home games at Hornet Stadium. Because the stadium was inadequate and lacking any other nearby replacement, the owner moved the team to San Antonio as the Texans for the 1995 CFL season.
