This League is operating like a NCAA Division II organization. No advertising, which host cities hardly knew the teams exist. No ties/sponsorships with the NFL. No NIL Level visibility, marketing of players/commercial products; nor, real push to highlight league(UFL) apparel. Need a Prime Time Friday Night Game, a Late Afternoon Saturday game, to avoid some of college basketball key matchups & local college programs games, which hurt Memphis, Houston, & Birmingham <UofAlabama> attendance, and wrap up the weekend with the regular Sunday two game broadcast, at slightly later start times. However, this league needs to expand by 4 teams, not only for more visible content/product; but, 8 teams looks & gives the impression of a less than low-level Minor League vibe. The needs to do a real market study of viable cities & approach to the population of those cities. Two cities that come to mind, right off the bat are Oklahoma City(Norman) and Canton....possibly Louisville as a third city, Baltimore as a crosstown rival to DC, maybe. The kicker is broadcasting. With a twelve-team league, the league can put together a network package, similar to the NFL Sunday Ticket, with the ABC/Fox networks, streaming on KZread TV where as, the UFL have 6 game every week, for 10 weeks, at a compatible marketed share price.... for the sake of argument, let's say for an example: $39.99 for the package(all 40 Sunday games), $49.99 with RedZone/4-Screen Sneak-Peek. The League would maintain one Prime Time game on Friday Night, rotated between ABC(5 games)/Fox(5 games). One National broadcast game mid-Sunday afternoon on a rotating basis with ABC(5)/Fox(5). The other 4 remaining games, played simultaneously, mid-Sunday afternoon on RedZone/4-Screen Sneak-Peek...with kick start time at 3:15p et/2:15p ct...broadcast start at 3p et/2p ct & broadcast end at 6:30p et/5:30p ct, unless overages. Obviously, when one network feature the Friday Night Prime Time Game, the other network partner broadcast the Sunday National Televised Game. The other Four game, split broadcasting rights between the two networks, ABC/Fox coverage, streamed on KZread TV RedZone/4-Screen Sneak-Peek. This can help the league generate more revenue, from package sells & Ads; and maybe, help marginally increase KZread TVs Subscriptions some. This league needs to convey a more big-boy business operation plan, as if they are an SEC/B10 knock off alternative to minor league football. Now as for the schedule for a 12-Team League...this is where the league needs to temporarily, think outside the box, for the time being, until the time come, hopefully, where the League can expand to 16 Teams. Forget this USFL/XFL Division format...time to move past that, at least for now. Set up 3 Divisions of 4 Teams each, based on naturally geographic proximity/regional rival. Each Team play 6 Division games, home & home, against their divisional rival. 2 games, one home/one away, against two opponents of one Division...the same against the other Division. Rotate opponents every two years...if the League can last that long. 6 Team Playoffs format, where as, 3 Division winners & 3 Wildcards(regardless of division affiliate). Top two teams gets a bye, for 1st Round Wildcard Weekend....3rd division winner(3-seed) host the 6th seed and the top wildcard team(4th-seed) host the 5th seed. 2nd Round Divisional Playoff Game feature the top team(1st-seed) hosting the lowest seeded team that advance and the 2nd seed team hosting the other team that advance. Championship Game feature the two remaining teams that advance. Again, ABC/Fox split televised playoff games....networks bid on televising the Championship Game. All post-season kick times TBD....probably on a Saturdays/Sundays, at that time of the year, when March Madness is long gone.

I'd have re-located Houston. I understand wanting to build something, but now you're setting back a different location with more potential for another year. You don't need 3 teams in Texas in a 8 team league, especially if you're depending on TV for your income and the ticket sales aren't there anyway. You can match Houston's fan support almost anywhere else in the country, but also give the TV networks more markets to broadcast into. There's nothing in the Northeast, West, or Florida-to-Virginia. It's a bit like the Big 12 minus the Great Plains schools.

Now, with winning three straight titles, the question is: where are the fans? Birmingham is playing in the smaller of the two football stadiums, and not even selling out half the venue. The conference championship game this year was just over 10,000 patrons! The NFL wants 60,000+ for every game and soon will be expanding towards a 40-team league. Why would they look at Birmingham who can't even fill a UFL game (at very cheap prices) much less an NFL contest (at high prices). Not going to happen.

Birmingham Stallions are the 3-Peat Dynasty Champions. We love our Stallions. St. Louis fans should be ashamed. Averaging 30k fans a game for a little over 2 seasons and can't even make it to the Championship game. Given home field advantage for the Championship before the season even started. St. Louis fans should be ashamed. This is not the UAL (United Attendance League). For all of you who live in other cities who want teams. Reach out to your local leaders and demand for one of your own. Until then. Giddy Up! Birmingham 🐎🏆🐎🏆🐎🏆

Dude… Battlehawks fans did what they were supposed to do - show up and show out. Granted, Birmingham doesn’t have St. Louis’ population, so 10-12k is actually very good and should not be criticized (THAT dishonor goes to the 2020 XFL LA Wildcats fans - typical LA fair-weather fans). However, don’t tell St. Louis fans to be ashamed. Our city got screwed TWICE by the NFL - that would’ve turned almost any community off from football, but in the arch city we are football crazy here, championship team or not.

@user-dn5mi6qh8m5 күн бұрын
Man you on top of it. Every location you picked were on point. If the UFL wants bigger TV ratings they must have teams on the West coast and the East coast. I would the UFL bring back Seattle , NY/NJ Generals , Philly Stars. Then to find a soccer stadium for Generals & Star. I don't like the fans in the south, look at the Birmingham Stallions. They win 3 Championship in a roll and can't get 15,000 fans in the stands. But after saying that , Get New Orleans a shot at that new 25,000 seat stadium. The Memphis franchise should move to Nashville and play in there soccer stadium. Denver and the Oakland area would be a nice fit with LA team playing in Carson CA. If Houston can't get a soccer stadium deal , move the team to New Orleans. Bring back the Orlando franchise. I would love to see the St. louis Battle Hawks play their games at the new outdoors soccer stadium that holds 24,000 seats. It would be nice if the Michigan Panthers could play in a soccer stadium like the DC Defenders team. The 8th new team will play in Ohio. 16 teams in 4 divisions.

Was the merge a good idea? Don´t think so. Some of the teams like the Gamblers will probably never come back, so what will the fans do? Support the Roughnecks? Some of them will not.

@@brownhatknight3473it was good to merge, they won’t need to compete against each other. Of course the league isn’t gonna be a 10/10 because of the limited amount of time they had to prepare for the season. They couldn’t just keep all the teams from both leagues, half of them never even played in their cities and it would’ve just increased the travel expenses and financial implications which is not good for year one of a new league.

@@DDDiego Only time will tell. But my experience is, that you have to start right to finish right and the start was in my opinion anything else that perfect. I used to watch every single USFL game (only missed 1 or 2) but this season I did not see a single game.
If you think this league will expand…you’re outta your mind …absolutely out of your mind
UFL needs to do a better job at promoting themselves in local media markets. Get the local FOX and ABC TV and ESPN radio stations involved. Get local newspapers running stories and printing cover shots on the sports section. It was painful in Seattle in 2023 just how silent the local media was about the Sea Dragons.
Partnering with local teams would help as well. The Showboats literally play in the Memphis Tigers stadium for crying out loud. Acquiring local talent would encourage people to go because they’ll know their names and will want to go buy tickets
Good
Only 8 teams for season 2. Not a smart move 8 is a unlucky number it only proves no money was made. Fact is the Attendance was low this year compared to last year. More teams means more cities means more Attendance. They should bring in more teams.
If they do that, the league will fold because of the increased financial burden of doing so. They NEED to grow the fan bases and encourage more to go to games first. STL does it well because of the Rams move to LA and DC has the beer snake, they have to figure something out that will get everyone in each city to come and support
@DDDiego have you noticed not to many people care about spring football.
@@WadeStevenson people will come if the product proves to be viable, it’s football
Thanks!
You're right that we don't like the NFL but also We were REALLY attached to our 2020 Battle Hawks when TA'AMU was our quarterback. We were $26,000 at the battlehawk games in 2020. They were going to open up the upper section and then COVID hit
Move Birmingham to Omaha. Former Husker quarterback, they would sell out every game.
I like the spring league (UFL/XFL),but some of the games were so early that I couldn't get there in time;my grandson played soccer and he would have been with me @da games
very smart move and i hope we do get some new teams in 2026 i miss the dragons and Breakers
Tgey should move Arlington to Ft. Worth, EL Paso or Austin
Birmingham is a waste of time. Put the 3x champs in ANY other city, and they will draw more. Not expanding leaves doubt onto the strength of the league. Overall it was a good season on ratings and play.
Hush. We are good here. Our attendance is nowhere near the bottom. Plus viewership is what truly matters.
@kingjay1524 empty seats kill future TV contracts. You have to admit not getting 20,000 is pathetic. You're 3x champs
@@johnwx25 stats st.louis fault for not showing up. Also Bham did not play themselves, SA have a fan base too. We can do better but don’t act like we don’t have one of the fan base in the league. We good over here. Need to put your energy towards other teams.
@kingjay1524 St. Louis showed up all season. 27,000 showed up vs 22,000 last year in San Antonio. USFL at Canton, who knows but it didn't loom good. Your numbers 7,262 14,056 10,245 7,133 10287 Average 9,796 Stallions should move
To be completely fair, the marketing this year was awful and some of us didn’t even know if we were coming back in the merger so the blame shouldn’t be on all of us. We’re number one in viewership so it’s not like people don’t know our name, Birmingham is smaller than other cities but it’s growing every year. If the league can prove to be stable long term and actually get people to come to games through proper marketing, fans will come trust me
Birmingham Stallions fans should be ashamed of their attendance, being the strong team they are, should be as many fans at the games as the ST LOUIS BATTLEHAWKS. Let's go D.C. Love the channel.
Enough with the attendance. That's all ya'll talk about and it doesn't matter. You should be concerned if the Battlehawks are even going to be good enough for their own fans. Will they keep supporting if they lose? You keep worrying about BHAM and attendance when viewership is all that matters.
Birmingham should move to Memphis
@@38kalhush.
@@38kal they could move anywhere and get 20,000
@@kingjay1524 Ain't my fault Birmingham ain't supporting a championship team lol.. Smh
Bring back in 2026 the Seattle sea dragons new jersey Generals and or Tampa Bay Bandits
I didnt think the UFL was going to expand after this year. I like that they are going to focus on the fans and just the 8 teams they have for now. Build up trust, the fandoms and then expand later once you have consistency
Last thing they want to do is get ahead of themselves
Can’t wait
Let me know your thoughts!
What if the UFL get some retired NFL players to play in the league it will help attendance
@@evensteven6487 not old players but that can still play lol.. Like Tom Brady
OKC Outlaws (USFL 1986) and Seattle Dragons(XFL 2021)
Sean that was truly amazing. Trust me our heavenly father sit high, but he looks low . God bless you my friend.
Thank you Greg. Did you go to the championship?
