MJWalker45 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 15 minutes ago, walkerws said: I think a Canton team, funded by a Cleveland ownership would make sense. They could use McKinley's new athletic fieldhouse or even Massillon's to work out in and then play at Fawcett Stadium (Hall of Fame Stadium). A team that is truly Canton's would possibly draw well and there's enough other HOF Village events that you could tie in to it to fill-up the seats. They have to play in March though. February is still "football" weather but no one is sitting in those cold bleachers. I think we would still see teams operating out of Arlington for at least one more year, unless they decided to set up two hubs with Birmingham as the other training hub. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 If they actually sell teams then they should be in their home markets unless Arlington gives them a sweetheart deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDAWG Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 The UFL will have to vet any prospective owners. Example, if they decide to sell the Michigan Panthers and there are two prospective ownership groups and one of them has a background in Crypto and the other group is a group of investors that includes Dan Gilbert and Tom Gores, take the Gilbert/Gores group. Not vetting owners is what is currently killing the indoor version of the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Pretty much every XFL partner from last year will again be involved this year. Gatorade replacing Pedialyte for sideline hydration is the one big change. One interesting item on the UFL store. Bluetooth boom boxes. Mini helmets were shown, but it looks like they are still only available for the former USFL teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmccarthy27 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 With the NFL adopting the XFL kick off, is the UFL going to use it now? Last I heard Daryl Johnston hated it and so they are using the USFL kickoff which was just the traditional NFL kick off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I heard Daryl Johnston hated it and so they are using the USFL kickoff which was just the traditional NFL kick off. Correct. Kickoffs Kickoffs will look like more traditional college/NFL kickoffs but will take place from the 20-yard line of the kicking team. A kickoff out of bounds will give possession to the receiving team 30 yards from the spot of the kickoff or at the spot where the ball went out of bounds. A kickoff that is untouched by the receiving team may only be recovered by the kicking team up to 20 yards from the spot of the kick. Other Kicking/Touchback Rules All touchbacks on kicks (punts or kickoffs) will be placed at the receiving team’s 25-yard line. Any punt that goes out of bounds inside the receiving team’s 25-yard line will be considered a touchback and placed at the 25-yard line. Non-kicking touchbacks will also be placed at the 25-yard line. Quote Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

MJWalker45 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 The drones will be back. I hope this is only for the outdoor stadiums, because I think trying to have these buzz around at St. Louis and San Antonio will be an issue. Especially St. Louis if the stadium is full from top to bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raz Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Ever watch a CFL game in Montreal? The fans use some sort of noise makers that makes you want to turn off the sound. Which I've done. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drones are mic-ed to get sound from the field, but most of the sound was their own props. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unless there's some sort of backroom deal with the NFL to showcase the rule this season, they're going with the USFL's kickoff routine from last season. I admit it would draw more eyes to the UFL as fans would look to see what the new rule looks like in live action before the NFL season... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
