While the rapid urban expansion of the ‘60s lasted, Terry began purchasing homes from properties that were meant for commercial development, and relocated them to undeveloped properties he had previously acquired.

The following year, his team started competing in the Arena Football League, with a debut against the San Jose SaberCats. Subsequently his team reached the play-offs in both years of its existences. Starting in 2016, it was announced that the league has been in talks with Emmert to take over the Portland Thunder. The operation was finished later that year, and his team ceased to exist, though he trademarked logos, name and jersey colors.
The league created a new franchise, the Portland Steel, which soon folded.
