It will almost assuredly be a high water mark for the Aviators. 0-2 team with their first ever home opener, hard to increase the fans that show up unless Aidan Sayin gets put in and starts looking gr8. Rough guess says for this week though it's also the high mark. Orlando couldn't beat it last week in their home opener and attendance always falls on these back to backs. Houston is on Easter and also nobody gives a shit about Gambleneck football. And Dallas is on fucking Tuesday, good luck getting even 5k.

Just got home what a shitshow but it was fun and luckily avoided rain. Im happy i got to finally got to watch a game in person and what a spaghetti fest it was. It was as i thought the best seats i have ever had for a football game. Beer was limited to 25oz cans of budlight for $14. The scoreboard is complete ass it doesn't even have an indicator for timeouts remaining. The downtime for refball is terrible and we had no idea what was going on. There was a play where play stopped for over 2 minutes where refs were having a conference before even anouncing the play was under review and after another 2 minutes what i thought was being reviewed (potential interception but dual possession) ended up being something completely different. The audio for the halftime show was complete ass which is surprising because the stadium literally is made for concerts with a stage built in. I wanted to take a smoke break for halftime but they dont have a smoking area which made leaving at the start of the 4th an easy decision. Fun crowd i even started at give us sayin chant but ginn ignored it. Honestly even after getting bootyblasted the team seems decent minus the qb he has to go asap if they want this team to stay in columbus

Fake leaker (that may not be fake) dropping in again.
The league exists in a void where it just barely justifies itself. TV ratings are comparable to Nascar trucks or Xfinity. Not enough to kill it, but not successful. It is literally borderline, game to game lol.
Mike Repole is cool and the sentiment overall is that we wish he was involved from the very start of this whole spring football wave. It's not that he's got some magic plan, he's just normal and reasonable. Also open to any idea so long as you make a good argument. I don't fear going into work.
We're facing an uphill battle because we just can't get people to care or get asses in the seats. Football fans aren't stupid, they know it's a reject league with no stars and teams move or leagues fold every 1.5 seasons. Austin Reed is promising but we've learned our lesson (officially) from shilling Luis Perez that you can't just fabricate a star.
There are three ideas on the drawing board.
>21 point mercy rule. Game would automatically end and the winning team gets an extra point in the standings.
>Celebrity coaches. We won't get Mr Beast but imagine Mr Beast calling offensive plays for a half and you can watch a special coach's feed on YouTube.
>Sponsor teams. The teams with decent attendance stay, the rest are road-only teams sponsored by brands.

Oh god, these are awful. I really hope this is fake. Having celebrities call plays would officially kill and seriousness the League has and turn it into a joke. I'd stop watching if this happened. And sponsor teams would feel so artificial. The D.C. Defenders vs the Amazon Primers!

Mercy rule will probably get rolled out for Week 6 (halfway point of the season as a surprise rule change for the playoff race). If you don't see it, it's because TV executives are fearful.
There was shall we say tangible asspain that none of the games so far have been particularly good and coaches are more than happy to play ticky tacky time of possession strategy. This is not compelling TV. Nobody wants to watch the Columbus whatevers exchange field goals with the Louisville something's.
They want eight Austin Reed's, ideally, but only one of those exists so you artificially create more of them by saying "game ends at a 21 point lead" which suddenly impacts playcalling and could therefore manifest more Austin Reeds. I get the idea at least.
There's also the desire to limit injuries that happen during garbage time. Everyone is trying to make it to the NFL but already more than a few careers have ended with random injuries during meaningless 3rd or 4th quarters where the game was already decided.
Can't get injured during garbage time if there's no garbage time.

The Green Bay Packers are a sponsor team (Indian Packing Company) and it was done in arena football with the Miami Hooters & LA Kiss.
The celebrities I agree but it was explained that they'll try their best to have relevant celebs for cross promotion. Caitlin Clark was their "holy grail" and they had a Nascar guy as well.

Bad Attendance:

So why do all of these Spring Leagues (especially the AAF and USFL) try to focus on the south when Spring Football has done so much better in the north?
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>154129763
Does Orlando qualify as bad? It's had good and bad attendance. It's the only one truly in the middle. Also the "bad" attendance of Dallas, Birmingham, and Orlando beat the shit out of the "great" attendance of Detroit.
>>

>>
>>
>>154129763
Midwest/North seems to do pretty well. I think its because the weather is getting good but there is nothing to do in many of those places this time of year. I would think Memphis would do pretty well being close to Louisville. Louisville only has USL to compete with though. Texas/Orlando there is too much shit to do. I don't know what's going on with Birmingham they have had a team for ages and there is no other shit going on.
>>
>>
>>154130096
Offenses will start looking better probably next week, if history is anything to go off of. The first two weeks of XFL, USFL, and UFL have been bad since 2022. If they had another week or two of practice and a preseason game(against a LFA team maybe?) would do wonders.

A combination of guaranteed good weather, taxes, stadium rental fees, and volume of football fans. They know there's no such thing as a diehard Dallas Renegades fan, but the weather is usually nice and there's enough of football fans in Dallas that some of them *might* show up.
Same thing powers CFL attendance. There are very few CFL diehards (pay attention to social media metrics and it's laughable) but what they do have a lot of is people wanting to spend $20 to see football on a comfy july or august night. That plus the deal with TSN is enough to justify the league's existence.

It's a new team, they've already confirmed expansion to 10 is 2028 season. Presumably they're eyeing another 2 by the 2030 season. 12 is going to be a real sweet spot for this league scheduling wise if they can make it. You either play every team but 1 once, or you play every team in your division twice.

Like the anon said in the thread, that bullshit rule should only really apply if it was a consecutive penalty on the same try. That shouldn't end the whole OT. Also imagine if that was someone's first UFL game which, considering both the Storm and the Kings are brand new teams, that's very likely to be the case. Imagine ending on that shit. Imagine how the league looks with that and how you may have lost a potential, highly invested watcher of the UFL with that. Sure he may be coming back for the occasional home game, but he for damn sure isn't going to be watching other UFL games after a finish like that.
I know I'm blowing it out of proportion and it's not actually that serious, but goodness what an anticlimactic finish and a not great impression. Something about that OT rule has to be tweaked.
>>
>>
>>154179056
>That shouldn't end the whole OT
It doesn't end the OT. It gives them that point. If Louisville had scored on their try, OT would still be going. It only ended OT because it was sudden death and Louisville didn't score.

It's not a good rule. Maybe have it apply only on the initial 3 attempts and then afterward find something else. Do whatever they do in college football OT. Something like what happened tonight was not a good look at all for the UFL or, more specifically, the UFL's OT rules implementations.

I don't think the UFL fans liked that ending or rule. Comments are tearing them apart here, the sportscenter account and in general over that

Actually not a bad move. The problem is that it'll be on NFL Network AND they're playing the Gamblers. The other anon is right though, I don't see Louisville fans or newer viewers in general being invested in UFL much after this. Maybe a few will come to the home games, but they aren't about to be invested in this league after how to tonight ended.

Commit two defensive penalties in OT and the offense is awarded 2 points for their attempts. Louisville committed one during best of three attempts. Neither team scored so OT went to sudden death. Louisville doesn’t score. On Orlando’s attempt there was defensive holding. Orlando was awarded 2 points and won the game off a penalty.

I talked to the guy that had the pads with the lemons on the shoulders and he said they confiscated them and gave the back later because they said he was going to throw them on the field even though he’s been wearing that shit for years. Also, could you guys hear the, “Fuck Ted Cruz!”, “Fuck Dan Snyder!”, “Houston sucks!”, and, “Belt to ass!” chants? Pic unrelated, is from one of the bathroom stall doors.

the only ones i heard were "oh we want the beer snake!" which they showed audio and video of following a commercial break and "we want 50!" towards the end of the game. was the crowd doing the other chants during the tv network breaks?
>>
I also forgot to mention that at halftime, I took a K ball to the finger during the kickers’ warmups because I stupidly tied to catch it with one hand while I had my phone out in the other instead of just letting it go since nobody was next to me where it was going to land. My left ring finger is all swollen now because of it; that shit hurts. I managed to deflect another one later that was going to crash right into the beer snake. And speaking of, what they don’t tell or show you on TV is how much fucking work that thing is. It did end up getting way heavier as time went on after I posted about holding it, but it wasn’t, like, ridiculously heavy. Anyways, it’s constantly twisting and sagging and needs monitoring and correcting throughout the entire game to keep it straight and prevent it from breaking. Those guys at the bottom aren’t just leading the section, they’re also managing the snake.
>>
>>154188999
I don’t know when they were doing them in relation to the broadcast. It was pretty much a rotation between those at random times. I do remember that we did the, “Belt to ass!” one after either the pick or one of the other touchdowns right before the extra point. I didn’t participate in the Ted Cruz one because politics is gay and shouldn’t be involved in sports. Some fag tried to get an anti-Trump one going, but almost nobody joined.

I think they need to combine the record books of all spring football leagues from USFL onwards.
Literally every game they're having to announce "highest X" and it's something mundane like a moderately long field goal or a QB with 250 passing yards.

The TV ratings are good enough to justify its' existence; it's on par with small market NHL or NBA games. Which means there's enough ad revenue from sponsors paying for commercial slots to keep it afloat.
Also, you didn't hear this from me but gambling degens contribute more than you'd think.

The irony is that these spring leagues are learning McMahon was right all along. The NFL has such a stranglehold on football that unless you turn it into an unhinged meme nuMetal league, nobody will care.
2001 xfl still had the best attendance.
2001 xfl still had the best tv ratings.
2001 xfl objectively still had the best players.
You can't get people to care if your marketing pitch is "Ngubu Jones might play well enough to get back into the Nfl" or "one corner of a lightly populated endzone made a beer snake haha xd." This will always be an uphill battle.

It's too far down the road but here's what should have been done.
>Keep the edgy gun metal branding and XFL name
Target four markets that never had a pro team:
>Anchorage, San Antonio, Mexico City, and Hawaii
Target four scorned markets.
>San Diego, St Louis, Oakland, Sacramento
Rules package:
>Turnover (fumble recovery, INT) is worth two points like a safety. Pick six becomes a pick eight.
>No kicking a PAT
>Fair catches don't apply to the kicker (this is a CFL rule). Kicker can run down the field and either destroy the returner or recover his own kick.
Broadcast
>Games exclusively in madden cam so it visually looks different than an nfl game.
>Mandatory helmet cams for QBs.

He apparently met the owner of the Colorado Spartans at a youth football game and convinced the owner to sign him for a $600 per game contract. Comparing him with the other dude at QB on their roster, he has the same INT%, a lower TD%, a lower completion %, and fewer YPA.
