The team played in the Premier Arena Soccer League from 2007-2010 as "Piasa FC". The club moved to the Professional Arena Soccer League (PASL) in 2010 as "Illinois Piasa" under head coach Jerry Lakin.[1]
They originally played their home matches at the Soccer for Fun Arena in Granite City, Illinois. From 2011 through 2013, Piasa played their home games at The Sports Academy in Glen Carbon, Illinois.[2] In July 2013, the Piasa announced that they would play the 2013-14 PASL season at The Field Sports Complex in Pontoon Beach, Illinois.[3]
On July 22, 2013, the team announced that head coach Jason Norsic had resigned to pursue personal and family commitments (the coach's first child was born in May 2013[4]).

On January 11, 2014, the team "parted ways" with Montroy and assistant coach Ed Rulo was named interim head coach for the remainder of the 2013–14 season.[5]
In April 2014, The Field Sports Complex acquired all properties related to Illinois Piasa.[6] The club will be an affiliate of the St. Louis

Piasa name
The club's original name comes from the mythical Piasa Bird, a native American legend from the Alton, Illinois, area just outside St. Louis. The legend says there is a giant bird that lives in the caves of the Mississippi River bluffs near Alton that kidnaps people, then proceeds to devour them in his lair.
