Ooh some real excitement - push back football for a baseball game - that should drive viewership.

 

 

 

My son was offered a position on the all-star baseball team. When I asked him if he was interested he asked “do I have to?”  Of course not (my secretly relieved self told him). He said “good, in baseball, half the guys are standing around, and the other half are sitting!”.

 

From the mouths of babes…….

If they were only going to play in 1 place, I think they should have picked a dome in an area with a ton of people. It would have just looked a little better on tv. Maybe like a 30k seat dome in one of the most populated cities in America or something. The football itself is ok.

Next year they should go to a city with a 15000 seat dome like the Fargodome. Obviously if they could find it in a city that is much larger that would help also. Last week I went to the UCF spring game and it is just too hot to sit for 3 hours in the sun.

 

The league needed a lot of extras besides a stadium. A hotel large enough to host all the players and staff. Meeting rooms, food service, training spaces and fields. Birmingham had everything they wanted. Next year the plan  is to move to each city. Bit they have a long way to go before that.

14-0 Breakers over TB.

 

No fans in the stands.

Edit: finally showed the stands better.  Couple hundred fans.

 

Decent drive by TB to get a FG.

 

These guys could have used a few more weeks to gel.  Offenses seem a bit disjointed.

Kinda pathetic that ESPN doesn't even show the scores, standings etc

 

Why would they promote a league that is OWNED by rival sports networks Fox and NBC?

 

 

Week 2 ratings are out. A predictable drop.

There were so many spectators at the stadium it hurt the TV ratings.

That is not going to cut it no matter what they have going on.  800,000 on NBC on a Sunday afternoon by week 2.

 

They are dead in the water.  
 

The drop was worse than AAFL and XFL both and about what they saw in week 4+5.  It is going to be hard pressed to support the number of players needed and the games are not very good.
