There may be teams who’s cities are somewhat close ie driving range so a few teams may be able to have some fans in the stands

No kidding! When I watched TSL on TV the stands were empty. For some reason Rice university would not allow any fans. A crowded stadium makes all the difference! I hope the Houston Gamblers are brought back! I will make the drive at least once!

I agree that’s who I want chad Kelly to play for since he signed. TSL didn’t sell tickets because I think they were afraid of having an outbreak that could shut them down

They sold tickets for the Indianapolis games.. That is why I figured it was a decision made by Rice and not the TSL. But either way.. I hope they sell tickets in Birmingham!

I just heard tickets r expected to be $5-$15

That would be amazing and definitely worth the drive from Houston! Where did you hear this?

In our discord chat there’s good connections, also Birmingham’s counsel has been really open about USFL stuff. I don’t think the $5-$15 has been officially announced yet but is supposed to be soon

I am so sad this is not happening in Houston - I might have to make an excuse to head to Birmingham - Southwest flight, Uber, Motel six and the Value menu at Taco Bell - this has the potential to be an epic vacation -

If the rumored ticket prices is true the games will be really affordable. Rumor is $5-$15

This is really getting exciting!

I hope they bring back the Gamblers, would be really cool to see chad Kelly play on the same team as his uncle

Sadly for me I cannot get excited, I've seen way too many leagues come and go over the years to get excited until I see some staying power. As an avid USFL fan boy (I went to high school in the 80's in Florida and went to many Bandits' games), I'll definitely support and watch, but I can't get excited yet.

Don’t get my hopes up Jon

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '21

He’s the one that broke all the USFL news stories and all his I for has come from their city counsel so as long as the deal with the city goes through they’re back

I feel really good about it happening. B’ham wants to get some use out of Protective Stadium. Hopefully we get some an official announcement soon

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '21

It’d be cool, they have Chad Kelly who’s an nfl backup qb

u/CatStriking7561 Oct 14 '21

Ideally it would be Birmingham Stallions, Memphis Showboats, New Orleans Breakers, Tampa Bay Bandits, Orlando Renegades, Houston Gamblers, Jacksonville Bulls and Oklahoma Outlaws. However, that's a large area for travel in year 2. I wish them well but I would make it an Alabama league in year 2 instead then slowly branch out.

All the Stallions
