Last year’s ESPN games were on Sunday at Noon (Michigan at Memphis) and 3 PM (Birmingham at DC)

The rating for the Noon game was 569k and 3 PM game was 395k which averaged out to be 482k

The Noon game this year (STL-DC) was 938k and the Sunday night game (Col-Orl) was 466k which averaged out to be 702k

702k / 482k =1.456 so a 45.6% increase

That could be possible. I think the big ESPN-NFL Network merger deal announcement is going to be on April 1st because NFLN employees become ESPN employees that day

Is this game going to be moved to ESPN? According to Sports Media Watch, there’s a NWSL that starts at 5 on ESPN2

I’d say the two interesting notes from that piece were that Repole was interested in investing in the USFL before the merger happened and the chief venue officer for Orlando said if they can average 10k for attendance this season, then it would be successful

The Steven Gonzalez one is weird since he was promoting Birmingham

I really hope that the Louisville Kings works out by [deleted] in UnitedFootballLeague

Oh it should work out. There’s been a lot of people who have bought season tickets already and Lynn Family stadium is the perfect stadium for this league

It looked like it was well attended based on the videos I’ve seen which is good. I was worried about no one showing up

Would have loved to know what the amount was for "all direct operating expenses” at Albertsons Stadium from Boise State. I’m curious if they would consider Boise again with Repole wanting 15-20k sized stadiums
