I like that they learned nothing from the XFL and how it was a bad idea to force the season to start after only a month of training.

Pretty decent numbers, especially considering the weather in Orlando probably drove a few thousand away.

I just hope they didn’t paper the hell out of the tickets like the WFL did.

Ask me about how my football team's success determines my self worth, and how I wish I lived in New Orleans.

I saw that! Barely caught any of that game I was too busy watching a Mike Martz QB get sacrificed but I did see they ran their own Philly Philly and that rules.

Also wandler, lol was thinking the same thing about Atlanta but my team has yet to play aka disappoint so :ohdear:

I'll be interested to see how many people show up for the Iron game. I remember the Birmingham Stallions and the Memphis Showboats of the USFL had a pretty good rivalry back in the day, and the Stallions were pretty well supported for a USFL team.

It's going to drop off hardcore when they bury it back on CBS Sports network and NFL network. Bummer if they don't keep it on the big networks not like they're showing literally anything else.

I just looked and CBS Sports Network only has the rights to the weekly Sunday 4PM game - maybe they could work something out with NFL Network to get the Saturday night game back

Or at least try flexing the Sunday 4PM game to CBS to see how it does

They already worked out the TV deals for the whole season, it was always only going to be terrestrial broadcast TV for the opening night:

TNT wanted a sports lead into NBA All-Star Saturday Night. TNT also get a playoff game, and CBS proper gets the championship game

On the one hand a deal with a terrestrial broadcast network for every weekend would have been ideal, but on the other hand a pretty big chunk of their target market gets NFL Network

Hey, what's all that green crap on the field between the 20 and 30? It's shown up on a couple other pictures I've seen. Are they doing a bad cover-up job on the Birmingham Bowl sponsors or what?

Also is the scoreboard to your left even working? It kinda looked like it wasn't, and if so just lol at Birmingham Parks & Rec for not even being able to maintain a scoreboard

It’s got a static greenscreen Iron logo on the screen so the answer is a qualified maybe.

My personal thought on the green field bits is maybe a sponsor that didn’t come through. Minor league sports are full of that.

If he's walking around bare-assed like the actual statue, that would be amazing.
