In the playoffs they had to admit defeat to the Seattle Sounders in the final . In 1996 they finished 6th and last in the Atlantic Division. Thus, the Ruckus could not qualify for the playoffs.

The team was then sold. The new owner founded the Ruckus under the name Atlanta Silverbacks . The Silverbacks are considered the successor team to the Ruckus.
