I really hope that this works. Not sure that it will. Not many folks will show up for “other teams”




They haven't. Crowds have been decent for the Stallions, but the other team games have been in a nearly empty stadium.

That's to be expected. The league knew it going in.

Yep, and the USFL (like many sports leagues) are far more concerned about TV viewership than butts in seats at the stadium. As long as they hit their goals with viewership, then they'll be satisfied.

Does anyone have a sense as to whether they are getting the ratings needed/expected?

Last night was my first trip to the stadium. They actually had a decent crowd, and it was a fun experience. Parking was a headache, but we got there a lot closer to kickoff than I had intended.

I really hope the league lasts.

Parking there is going to be an absolute nightmare for the Garth Brooks concert in a few weeks. Glad I’m not going.

How were the lines for beverages? I’ve heard that was an absolute shitshow in the first couple weeks

They were too long for a half full stadium. They seemed to have all the concession stands open, but maybe they are only half staffed.

I hate to rant about a USFL coach but why the frick does Skip Holtz insist on playing Alex McGough? J’Mar Smith is clearly better

Really? How? At least McGoigh can complete some passes. Both are mobile when healthy but JMar was around 33% completions when he played significant minutes

J’Mar has been significantly better than McGough in every game.
