Based on the performance of the one in-market team they have, I think we can say that a healthy USFL team will be able to average more than 10K.

Hopefully the USFL will go into new markets, ones that were not in the original league when the get past the current 8 teams. Instead of bringing back the San Antonio Gunslingers and giving that logo a fresh coat of paint (as they have done with these 8 teams), put a team in Austin. Instead of bringing back the Chicago Blitz, put a USFL team in Ohio. In the event the league goes West of Houston for expansion, instead of the Denver Gold, a team in Salt Lake City, except have a much more favorable deal than what the AAF had. And in the eventuality that the leagues goes into California, instead of the LA Express, put a team in San Diego instead. Instead of the Oakland Invaders, put a Bay Area USFL team in San Jose or San Francisco.

The Gunslingers, as I pointed out in another thread, do exist in the NAL, maybe they'll outlast the Arena League version of the LV Outlaws.GDAWG wrote: ↑Sat May 28, 2022 6:40 pm Hopefully the USFL will go into new markets, ones that were not in the original league when the get past the current 8 teams.

In fact wasn't there a brief discussion about the two ex-Gunslingers trying to lure the league back to SA?
EDIT: Yeah it was Jim Bob Morris, who became this big packaging entrepreneur

the USFL doesn't need to revive every single USFL market it once had. It could use some new ones, that were not in the original USFL.MGB01 wrote: ↑Sat May 28, 2022 7:29 pmThe Gunslingers, as I pointed out in another thread, do exist in the NAL, maybe they'll outlast the Arena League version of the LV Outlaws.GDAWG wrote: ↑Sat May 28, 2022 6:40 pm Hopefully the USFL will go into new markets, ones that were not in the original league when the get past the current 8 teams.

While its a high cost market... Chicago is one market USFL may try that the XFL is unlikely to go into playing in Feb.

They aren't looking for attendance - they are looking for TV viewers. I agree that bad ownership and poor Chicago attendance hurt the original USFL Blitz BUT this is about TV ratings and Chicago is the 3rd largest TV market in USA.
It's just a thought, and its unlikely XFL will play there in winter.

I think it’s worth trying, mid west will generally support football and Chicago has a perfect stadium for spring football with seat geek which seats just under 30,000

If I am the USFL, I would hub in Chicago for a few weeks, just to see if there's interest from the Chicago sports fan base.herns wrote: ↑Sun May 29, 2022 12:52 pmI think it’s worth trying, mid west will generally support football and Chicago has a perfect stadium for spring football with seat geek which seats just under 30,000

If this report is true, why haven't we heard about anything from the local USFL markets?
We've heard a lot of the confirmation about the XFL from media in their respective cities, like Houston and St. Louis, which have been on top of a lot of breaking news from the league. We haven't really heard anything from any of the USFL's cities other than Birmingham about stadium inquiries.
