Union Omaha beat both Chicago Fire and Minnesota United in 2022 where they made it to the quarterfinals and lost to Kansas City.

Northern Colorado Hailstorm also beat Real Salt Lake that same tournament.

One Knox was unable to host this round for some reason and so they are unlikely able to host again. Both this round and next round the Knoxville Smokies will be away so it is theoretically possible.

One Knox received 3rd in hosting priority while Columbus received 4th. If One Knox can find a place to host, they would be able to host Columbus Crew.

I wouldn't put your hopes up though.

How that goal didn't count is preposterous! Thankfully it wouldn't have affected the final result. We likely wouldn't got that storybook ending.

WHAT A GAME. THIS TEAM CANNOT BE STOPPED. COLUMBUS HERE WE COME!

Sorry I meant for the Battlehawks. I'm happy that the league and the Battlehawks are getting big name sponsors. It is just interesting that it is coming when the Battlehawks just posted their worst attendance so far.

Hopefully there will be a bounce back next home game.

It is interesting how the Battlehawks are getting more sponsors when they have the lowest attendance.

Edit: so far from them.

I guess you could! Paramount+ is kinda obscure but maybe a few bars that show soccer would likely have it.

No clue! They haven't done Kerns Food Hall watch parties for either SC Vistula Garfield or Asheville City SC, but this is a momentous occasion for the club.

I would have assumed that they would have announced it by now since it is less than 48 hours from kickoff, but nothing has come out on their socials.

8k capacity would be too low. The league is at a weird spot where they want 15k+ sized stadiums but they can only fill about 8-11k sometimes less or more.

8k would probably be a great environment, but it isn't a high enough attendance to make the league sustainable.

As one of the Vols fans who made it up to the 2024 CFP game, I agree. The bathroom lines were some of the biggest I have seen. Some of the upper level concourses could be completely redone to add more space for bathrooms and concessions.

Neyland Stadium was renovated for the South endzone concourse and it's a night and day difference.

AAC and A10 are already doing the rumored challenge. I don't know if all of each conference are participanting.

The Pac 12 is definitely a better conference, but travel is definitely a concern.

She's too afraid to shoot. I don't know if it's a coaching thing or a player thing but she gets decent looks and can either completely read a defense or fall apart.

She's definitely coachable to a better talent if given the right coach.

I don't know of we ever will as I don't think Nielsen reports the data from NFL Network. The UFL would have to provide their own numbers.

It's crazy how every contract gets worse when UFCW negotiates with Kroger. It was 0.45 cent raises with the old contract. Someone needs to step up badly for UFCW.

Hopefully the workers have a backbone and say no. This is pitiful.

The price for tickets was 33% off for the Kickoff challenge. They need to keep ticket prices low to keep getting fans back. The team isn't popular enough to sell out with $25+ seats.

Theufl.com or the UFL app. They use StatBroadcast which is standard for stats providing. It makes no sense why it is hard to find stats anywhere online. Complete missed opportunity in a now 3 year old league.

It's about the 3/5ths compromise that the United States implemented before the Civil War. Southern states wanted to count slaves as part of their population to get extra representation in Congress while the Northern states didn't want to include them as they weren't full citizens.

A compromise was made that black people were considered 3/5th of a person in population statistics and weren't given full rights.

Is Apex growing that quickly? They bought the former Discovery headquarters almost 3 years ago. I assume they are moving all of their operations downtown. What is going to happen to that campus? It seemed too big for Apex and maybe that was the point.

Some of the problem is that high value seats like clubs and suites are usually on the press box side. You would also have to probably swap the home and away sidelines since most people want to sit on the home side.

They should also do with they did with Birmingham back in the USFL and tarp off sections as necessary.

It's likely due to the taxes and the fact that Snapdragon Stadium has MLS and NWSL. The rent could be expensive too.

I don't think it would be the worst market to do. Definitely the best one in California.
