USFL Saturday ratings are really good

The stallions game got over 1.3 million viewers and as these are prelims they likely had more than that as prelims are usually lower

Good catch Herns!

NICE - and if no freaking weather delay they' popped 1.5 mm! (maybe) Whoa the humanities!
- NBC tends to adj down, so lets see final numbers and hope for best

- Also - Did you see what MLS did on FOX, 264k ! USFL > MLS 5x! Wooooo Hoooo!

By Hour: 19-49 and total viewers

20:00 NBC USFL Football 0.2 1.309
20:00 FOX MLS Soccer 0.1 0.264
21:00 NBC USFL Football 0.2 1.357
21:00 FOX MLS Soccer 0.1 0.256
22:00 NBC USFL Football 0.2 1.131

So even after the rain delay got over a million, hopefully these hold up and it averages 1.2mm plus. Was a good game.

Ya MLS is asking for 300 million for a tv contract and struggle to get to half a million 😂. Also it’s a near 30% jump for USFL from last week on nbc

It's prime time compared to noon Sunday game though - and thankfully the Celts were getting mauled in NBA.

I hope Philly/TB did well. It was HOT in Midatlantic/NE and Philly yesterday.

NJ / Houston has NY Rangers to contend with.

That's a shock, especially that they didn't lose viewers over two hours

It's happening, imagine what it could be if the league wasn't hellbent on creating their own obstacle course.

1.3 million for a major broadcast network in prime time during sweeps is not "really good."

And I'll furthermore add: NBC has a strong lead out: SNL had two longtime cast members, Kate McKinnon and Pete "I Land Chicks Way Outta My League" Davidson making their final appearances.

Its really good for a new league, absolutely. This is what they are targeting. And against NBA Boston semifinals. This isn't the NFL and its not winter.

Have you seen what the evening viewer numbers are on saturday nights last few weeks in general?
