After a multi-year hiatus, professional soccer returns to San Jose tomorrow afternoon when the Quakes take on the Chicago Fire. This will be the first home game since the Quakes moved following the 2005 season.
It's relatively uncommon for a team to return to a city that previously lost it -- see Cleveland's Browns or Washington's Nationals. In a league with only 14 teams, it's even more uncommon due to the other major US and Canadian cities without teams.
Nevertheless, a new Quakes chapter begins at home this weekend. The old Quakes actually turned out pretty well -- back-to-back MLS Cup Champions -- so time will tell how the new breed will fare.
