USFL by Week Schedule

Looking at this - there will once again be alot of "dual" games for 1 ticket. Which I guess s a cost saver but I don't think helps attendance for either game... I guess that's baby steps... and its not every week.
The league seems to be leveraging the same location for 2 games a weekend likely to leverage the studio trucks used on site.


For example:

Sunday, April 30
Pittsburgh at Philadelphia (Detroit), 12 p.m.
New Jersey at Michigan (Detroit), 4 p.m.

Sunday, May 7
New Orleans at New Jersey (Canton), 3 p.m.
Birmingham at Pittsburgh (Canton), 6:30 p.m.

The good news is that this is not happening ever week. For example:

WEEK 6
Saturday, May 20
Pittsburgh at Memphis (Memphis), 12:30 p.m.
Birmingham at Michigan (Detroit), 4 p.m.
Sunday, May 21
New Orleans at Philadelphia (Detroit), 12 p.m.
New Jersey at Houston (Memphis), 4 p.m

WEEK 7
Saturday, May 27
Birmingham at New Orleans (Birmingham), 4 p.m.
Philadelphia at Pittsburgh (Canton), 9 p.m.
Sunday, May 28
Houston at Memphis (Memphis), 2 p.m.
Michigan at New Jersey (Canton), 5:30 p.m.

And we don't know how flexible the sch will be.

As thought the early XFL game 4/15 makes way for the USFL premiere with the first head-to-head proper coming later that night (ESPN2 vs FOX). But no nets showdown (ABC vs FOX/NBC) other than some overlap, if it ends up even going that way, on 4/22 and 5/13.

So hardly AFL vs. NFL (or WWF vs. WCW for that matter), IFL vs. NAL maybe.

Also lost in todays news is there’s training spots opened up for the players, I think a player on the Markcast said the similar that there’s league training facilities opened. Wonder if any teams utilize it as a minicamp type thing
