Description: The Dayton Triangles were an original franchise of the American Professional Football Association (now the National Football League (NFL)) in 1920. The Triangles were based in Dayton, Ohio, and took their nickname from their home field, Triangle Park, which was located at the confluence of the Great Miami and Stillwater Rivers in north Dayton. They were the longest-lasting traveling team in the NFL (1920–1929), and the last such "road team" until the Dallas Texans in 1952, who, coincidentally, descended from the Dayton franchise.
Description: The San Antonio Riders were a professional American football team that played in the World League of American Football (WLAF) in 1991 and 1992. The team played at Alamo Stadium in San Antonio in 1991 and then were forced to move to Bobcat Stadium in San Marcos, Texas after the San Antonio Independent School District refused to allow the sale of beer at WLAF games or the display of beer advertising at Alamo Stadium. The team's record in 1991 was 4-6, and they turned things around in 1992 with a mark of 7-3. The Riders were not able to compete in the highly competitive North American West Division during the 1992 season, and like the Galaxy of 1991, they did not make the playoffs despite a 7-3 record.

After the WLAF ended its American presence at the end of the 1992 season, Sacramento's presence continued in professional football by acquiring a Canadian league expansion franchise. The new team was named the Sacramento Gold Miners; Several Surge players were retained in the change, as were the team colors.
