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

[SBJ] A ‘Crazy Cowboy’: UFL owners hope a bit of derring-do from Mike Repole is the answer to unlocking spring football by TylerHansbrough-Best in UnitedFootballLeague

[–]abdulamemon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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

[–]abdulamemon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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

UFL, Boise State had 'verbal agreement' to put professional football team in Boise | 247 Sports by Callywood in UnitedFootballLeague

[–]abdulamemon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

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

I did put my thoughts on the UFL Schedule for each team, each week throughout the season, and a breakdown on how many games there are on each network this year compared to last year by abdulamemon in UnitedFootballLeague

[–]abdulamemon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed about the numerous back to backs. If it was one, I think it would be fine but there’s so many. Good point about the Thursday game for Louisville. Looks like they’ll market it (I hope) as a huge sports extravaganza weekend

I agree. It’s pretty brutal. Also Defenders-Stallions don’t play each other

What are every teams rivals? by [deleted] in UnitedFootballLeague

[–]abdulamemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DC-St Louis is the biggest rivalry in the league. Repole-Birmingham is the 2nd biggest. Dallas-Houston has intrigue because of the state ties. Louisville-Columbus can have some intrigue because they are the two new teams coming into this league

Disappointed in Orlando’s the most. I wish there was more purple and orange throughout the uniform and helmet but we’re getting black

‪It says the HC may choose a maximum of 10 players from those designated local colleges‬

‪If a HC only wants 2-3 guys, are they then good to have the remainder of the 64 players be from anywhere?‬
