Does Anyone Watch USFL Games?

[mudwhistle]

The USFL isn't going to last long. They don't have any following and it appears like they can't sell tickets.

I watched a few games early on....but there was absolutely no fans in the stands.
The games are boring and they don't have enough teams to be truly competitive.....so I don't see the point.

Full pad inner-team college scrimmages are more exciting.

What do you folks think?

I was wondering what was going on.....but they are holding all of the games in Birmingham.

WTF?

If its managed right it should last. I watched some of the games they were pretty good. They need to promote city and team loyalty to grow the fan base.

I can’t get interested

If they want to be successful they need to revert back to NFL style football of the early 80's.

Cut out the PC shit...just make it about hard nosed, traditional football.

The NFL of today is unwatchable for many reasons.

It has been a long road of incremental degrade.

I've watched it. I love the idea of spring football.

XFL was cool until the pandemic took them down

Cuts travel expenses however it also cuts community ties with the cities they claim to belong to.

I watched several games and did not find them boring

They have just as good of a product as the NFL but without the media hype

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

It isn't the NFL. Quite frankly, it isn't even as interesting as the CFL is.

The CFL is still around?

Nah.....it's clear the level of talent is totally different.

They dont sell any tickets because all of the games are being played in one location in I believe Alabama.
I know I'm not going to travel to Alabama to watch low grade football.
