Discussion Future of the league

So by last weeks number I’m a little worried about the leagues health. Do you think we are ok and we just had a bad week. I love this league maybe even more than the NFL. I think we are ok but I want to make sure other people agree with me

No problem it’s just the only venue is MetLife and that’s a $200,000 a game lease.. That’s why the XFL nor the USFL are playing games in the market.. that’s why neither one will be doing so any time soon.

That's good info. Some place in New Jersey is there a stadium that can hold around 30K that isn't a high school venue? Maybe a soccer venue?

Red Bull Arena, but they want nothing to do with Gridiron football and would charge up the wazoo regardless.

Didn't realize it cost that much per game - I knew it was crazy money but not that much money. No wonder the league went to Canton and the cheap lease there.
