It certainly doesn't hurt that the league was treated like a big deal in front of a room full of advertisers at the upfronts on Tuesday.Gopher123 wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 9:29 amI believe that sponsorship’s are going to be an area that XFL 3.0 is really going to focus on and improve on from XFL 2.0.

Are you thinking TV sponsors or in stadium? The bottomline, these seasons are so short that they may be looking for more dates for local advertising. I mean its 5 home games.laxtreme56 wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 6:44 pm Just as, if not more important than drawing fans, there may not be enough corporate sponsorship to support 2 upstart Spring Football leagues. Secondary teams are always fighting over the scraps to begin with, but it becomes even harder to secure those lucrative deals as a new league in a new market.
Baseball is 81, Basketball 41, NHL is 41, MLS is 17, and NFL is 8/9.

Arena football tried title sponsorship and it did not go over well.Gopher123 wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 9:29 am I believe that sponsorship’s are going to be an area that XFL 3.0 is really going to focus on and improve on from XFL 2.0.

In 2020, two of the league's biggest sponsors, PepsiCo (Gatorade) and Anheuser-Busch (Bud Light Seltzer), weren't unveiled until days before the season began. In both cases, the product placement was more subtle (the seltzer chug, for example) and less intrusive than trying to slap a corporate name on something, which almost always triggers revulsion and backfires.

I never cared for arena football so therefore I never followed it. Enlighten me as to how a title sponsor was bad for them.johnnyangryfuzzball wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 11:33 amArena football tried title sponsorship and it did not go over well.Gopher123 wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 9:29 am I believe that sponsorship’s are going to be an area that XFL 3.0 is really going to focus on and improve on from XFL 2.0.

I don't think the AFL title sponsorship was bad, I don't recall anyone complaining about the Arenabowl "Sponsored by Net10 Wireless." It sold for close to $1 million if I recall correctly.

2020? Did the IFL (would have had to have been after the AFL flatlined the previous fall) have one and I missed it? Either way, their season lasted two games before they shut down so I'm not sure if that was a negative.

2020, I was talking about the XFL. My bad on the ambiguous lingo. The AFL deal (with Net10) was 2012 to 2014.

I could see the USFL moving the Houston franchise to another city they aren't in the city's where's they have fans in that city anyways. XFL has roots in Houston so they would win out in that market..
Wonder if a city like Nashville is better suited for a leauge like the USFL
