History
Fc Minneapolis began considering fielding a professional men's soccer team in the National Premier Soccer League in June 2013. The then current team, the City Borns, were preparing to join the Minnesota Recreational Soccer League due to financial struggles that hindered them from joining a professional league. In December 2013, Fc Minneapolis announced they would field their team in a professional league come 2015 and that participation in MRSL was just to give them a good feel of running a professional club. The State of Minnesota at the time was having only one professional men's soccer club.
