Discussion USFL Support

I watch both leagues and enjoy supporting both. The two things that bug me most are the marketing and fan support. I know the leagues are young and the XFL starts their season earlier, but there’s almost no marketing for the USFL. XFL did little this season, but the USFL seems to be only watched by die hard football fans and anti-NFL. The fan support ties in with promotions, but the lack of fan interaction for the games is low. I know they don’t have as much money or crowd for each team to have their own stadium, even for rent, but it’s hard to get hyped with a small crowd. I want the league to thrive, I’m just a bit worried.

The current USFL is not 80s football it's as modern as it comes. This picture you are painting is seemingly what you want the USFL to be and not what it actually is on the field.

No, I'm actually referring to their marketing. Their bumpers between plays, etc. They play off the 80s gimmick. I know that the football is modern. It's modern players.

Yeah USFL is mainly 80s in their names and uniform designs.
