The team began play in 1993 at Hornet Stadium in Sacramento, California they joined the West Division. Sacramento became the first U.S.-based team to play in the CFL, and it was the first expansion team to be admitted in to the league since 1954, when the B.C. Lions became a franchise. A potential expansion team to San Antonio was put on hold for the 1993 season.
On March 6, The Canadian College Draft was held in Calgary at the Jubilee Auditorium, becoming the first Western Canadian city to host the event, since Winnipeg in 1971.
