McCall Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 4 minutes ago, MJWalker45 said: At some point you have to say that's enough. Memphis and Detroit I can understand. The first year neither team played a home game. The second year, the Panthers played a home game in Canton instead of Detroit because of how the USFL made the schedule and Memphis were an OK team that didn't make the playoffs. This year for the Panthers, late season ticket sales, lack of support from Ford Field and other issues affected them more than the rest of the league. The Stallions have the best player in the league and an exciting team, they shouldn't be dragging at the rear of the pack in attendance. The home opener and the Battlehawks game is doing a lot of work lifting up the rest of the schedule. The CFL debacle burned quite a few cities, but that was on the U.S. owners as much as the CFL trying to survive the 1990's. I'd still get rid of Michigan and Memphis before Birmingham. They have a better chance at long-term success than those two markets, IMO. Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milwaukee is in the same boat: no stadium for football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd happily bring in both cities, but people fail to think about there being an actual stadium for them to play in. I guess they think too much along the lines of the NFL, or even MiLB, where a city will build a stadium for an expansion team. But this league is not established enough for that to happen at this point. Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Oklahoma City, there's one out in the suburbs, but that seats 80,000 and that University that owns it won't be open to having spring football at that stadium. That being of course, the University of Oklahoma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could possibly work, at least short-term, but not sure people want to travel to the northernmost edge of the northernmost suburb for a spring league football game. 1 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one hope for a possible UFL team is this: MAPS 4 Multipurpose Stadium | City of OKC More here: New MAPS 4 Soccer Stadium Could Land In Bricktown (news9.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAnt755 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 MY TEAM IDEAS FOR UFL OKLAHOMA: If Tulsa: Tulsa Racers (based on the Chili Bowl Nationals event in Tusla) Tulsa 66ers (based on the infamous U.S. Route 66 in America) Tulsa Twisters (weather-based team) Tulsa Tomahawks (based on Native Americans in Oklahoma) If Oklahoma/OKC: Oklahoma Tentacles (Based on the legendary creature; the Oklahoma Octopus) Oklahoma Rush (Based on the first land run in 1889) Oklahoma Dust Devils (Based on the infamous Dust Bowl in the 1930s) Oklahoma Wildcats (Based on the ride in Six Flags Frontier City) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's no other stadium option in the market, then yes, it's a very bad idea. You're capping your attendance at 8k with no room for growth. And 8k is NOT a successful long term attendance figure.

I’m stuck between thinking this game has been horrendous or exciting. I want Michigan to win, but they keep shooting themselves in the foot.
