Relive a brief but intriguing chapter of Iowa basketball history with our Cedar Rapids River Raiders T-shirt, celebrating their single season in the USBL in 2004. The River Raiders brought professional basketball to Cedar Rapids' U.S. Cellular Center (now Alliant Energy PowerHouse), generating initial excitement as the city's first pro basketball team. Despite attracting talented players hoping to catch the eye of NBA scouts and drawing curious local fans, the team lasted just one season due to financial challenges and the broader instability of the USBL at the time. The River Raiders' short existence represents a unique moment when Cedar Rapids tested the waters of professional basketball.
