Saint Lucian international David Flavius currently holds the club records for most appearances and goals which he set over his eight seasons with the Riverhounds between 1999 and 2006.

In 2013, the Riverhounds organization announced its intentions to join Major League Soccer by 2023 (however, as of 2019, the MLS has not listed Pittsburgh in a list of possible expansion cities). Highmark Stadium initially seated 3,500 spectators, though the stadium is designed to be capable of being expanded to 18,500.
