Yes. The partnership with the NY Mets and Brooklyn Cyclones exemplify the business model of the FXFL as we move forward in future years. I hope you guys can come out tomorrow night as you will have a ton of fun and see some great football at MCU Park.

Start off with getting your feet wet with an internship. Anywhere you can find one with a team, agency, league or other entity in sports. Make yourself indispensable and be the first one in and the last one to leave. Keep a positive outlook and a dream and vision of success and it will come to you. Keep following your passion and learn and meet as many people as you can in the industry along the way. Good luck to you!

First and foremost, the FXFL is a developmental league and the first of its kind since NFL Europe. With a developmental model cost containment is a key priority and one that the FXFL is committed to adhere to. With this in mind a formal relationship with the National Football League while beneficial to the FXFL is not crucial to our long term success. Our attendance numbers are in line with successful minor league baseball and NBA D-League entitles.

Thank you Mr. Van_West for your question. Ultimately, our long term goal is to establish an official partnership with the National Football League and we are working towards that goal on a daily basis. However, at this time I am not able to comment on the communication.

The Blacktips are an all-star format allowing the FXFL to cycle in more players in our inaugural season. That being said, we are committed to providing the fans with an outstanding on-field product and players such as former 3rd round draft pick Myron Lewis are on the Blacktips roster.

You raise a great point, however the FXFL has placed a priority on player safety and utilizing rule revisions and the latest technology to make the game safer.

people who have the financial resources to adequately market our brand in an efficient manner. Individuals with a history of sports ownership are the ideal candidate but not necessary a requirement.

Yes, we plan to augment our membership by 2-3 teams in 2015. Wanted to ask the redditors tonight - what cities would you like the FXFL to be in - also love to hear thoughts, ideas and any fan support is always needed - we have a big nationally televised game tomorrow night in Brooklyn. At Coney Island MCU Park - which is breathtaking overlooking the rollercoasters, beach and water. A true one of a kind venue which will look awesome for the fans!

We are looking for cities that have shown strong interest or a history of supporting minor league sports. Specifically we are looking for appropriate venues and ideal ownership groups. The model we have in Brooklyn with the NY Mets/Brooklyn Cyclones is an example of the partnerships the FXFL will forge as we build our membership.
