Ok let's be real AAF teams are not going to be apart of the UFL, mostly because THE DON'T OWN THE RIGHTS TO THEM. The UFL will focus on bringing back former USFL teams (Including the teams from the 80's since FOX owns the rights to them) and the 2020 XFL teams. I don't see any team from the original XFL coming back as well. The current XFL seemed to avoid the original XFL, unlike the USFL. Plus I don't think they have the rights to use those teams from the original. I tried looking on who has the rights to them and I'm guessing it's Vince McMahon

Panthers were the only team to show increase in attendance throughout the season

i think the league has to step up it's marketing and promotion strategy,in most every city advertising has been poor,all of that has to begin from the league offices itself.make it so that players and coaches can be more involved in the cities they represent, through appearances and possable local endorsements, really promote the stars of a team in their city...kike adrian martinez for the stallions, and chase garvers for the brahmas

Bring back sea dragons and maulers

I think they should look to relocate teams that have trouble attracting a fanbase before they expand. For expanding, I'd like to see the Sea Dragons come back in the XFL division and the Breakers in the UFL division. Expansion should be slow and incremental. Don't expand too fast and dilute the talent too much.

San Diego is a good choice and playing at Snapdragon Stadium . Taking the name Fleet from the defunct AAF.

Need to go to cities were there is no NFL team. Ex Hartford,CT , Norfolk,VA Louisville, KY ,

NFL stadiums are too big. MLS stadiums are too small (it’s been suggested to me that 40,000 is a needed average because of salary and INSURANCE costs. There’s a reason insurance was stated in all caps. College stadiums are rarely in cities of the size needed. Chances are that the state of Washington (owners of Lumen Field) and the Seahawks (operators of same) make more money from Seattle Reign (NWSL) than they would the Dragons. This is mostly because of less costs, and partly because lies, damn lies, and attendance numbers. Just an example to consider as to why some cities will never sniff the UFL. A truly viable league requires your own facilities. For football, since media money is absolutely necessary, that means sacrificing some better smaller city draws for larger TV markets. By the way, I laughed at the notion of this video citing the Timbers and Thorns as a good reason Portland is viable when, by nature of the UFL being a spring league, there won’t be available dates at Providence Park. Thing is… the Thorns will outdraw the UFL here. Already do overall.

2.

I like them all. Go the Blue Sox!

Bring back the LA Wildcats (or Extreme) to the XFL conference with the same cheap prices.

Orlando should be back they have support the Apollo's in the aaf Renegades in the usfl Orlando rage in the XFL in Orlando Thunder in the Canadian Football League. The team we had last year was awful all games were played in the heat during the day not at night on a Friday or Saturday. Go check the attendance records for those teams.

I hope they expand

Part of the problem with attendance in some cities might be the fact there are nfl teams in some of those cities and people don’t want to support two pro teams.

Add 4 teams. Add more night games. Add holiday games as well.💯👌

One and done there won’t be a second year…

If Bham pulls ANY kinda turnover shenanigans like they did against the Panthers, the Brahmas win handily.

Spring football will never reach Expectations. It always falled in the pass. The only sure way is to take 4 of the UFL best teams and try to Merge with the NFL as expansion teams. I kinda feel like this will Eventually have to happen

Oklahoma I got some good names since I am Native American Oklahoma City Apache, Oklahoma City, Comanches Oklahoma City Cherokee I say any native Americans local tribes will be fitting

Oakland names Oakland, okey-doke, Oakland endurance or endeavors, Oakland, Sabre cats

Oakland names Oakland, okey-doke, Oakland endurance or endeavors, Oakland, Sabre cats

Canton, Ohio I got a couple names, Canton legends, Canton Famers, Canton buckeyes, Canton Mustangs, Canton bucks you know the deer the bucks I think that might be the name Canton bucks. Imagine the antlers on the helmet style like lightning bolts pretty cool. I will use the chargers colors.

Canton, Ohio I got a couple names, Canton legends, Canton Famers, Canton buckeyes, Canton Mustangs, Canton bucks you know the deer the bucks I think that might be the name Canton bucks. Imagine the antlers on the helmet style like lightning bolts pretty cool. I will use the chargers colors.

Portland, I have some good names for it Portland junkies, Portland antifa, Portland far left, Portland outlaw which I deem fitting, Portland Street shitters, Portland shoplifters, Portland pimps, Portland attics yes in the list goes on but real talk. I would just move the sea dragons to Portland.

Put a team in L.A. and play in the Coliseum. That way, there will be even more empty seats than typically seen in Memphis and Arlington.

It takes years to build a fan base. They shouldn't worry about how many fans are in stadium, Make your money off of TV deals. And make in game tickets very cheap. I think they should expand, hard to be taken serious with only 8 teams, 12 would be better.

You keep forgetting this is minor league football. Not NFL.

Love your CFL prediction for 2024. My pick for the Grey Cup is the Toronto Argos even with the suspension of Chad Kelly. The Argos dominated the BC Lions last week. The Argos are strong on both sides of the line. The Alouettes got lucky last year when Kelly had a bad day in the East Final. FYI. Kelly got suspended due to sexually harrassing a female employee. The incident took place the day before the Eastern Final which would explain for the horrible game by Kelly. Go Argos

I’m kind of surprised that when they did the merger at the beginning that both sides didn’t have 6 teams a piece. They are at 8 now. So I would two teams to each side or maybe add four more teams to make it a 16 team league and more reach and marketing and growth for support and development and promotion. I don’t think staying out of NFL cities completely is a good idea. I have seen some suggestions that certain cities be excluded since they have a pro sports team or teams even though none are football. I would point out St. Louis, Memphis, and San Antonio all had great draws of fans (in relative terms and numbers with a reformed league lineup) and good television ratings and have non football professional sports. With that said, over-saturation of a product or too many professional teams in one locale could be detrimental. So the following cities should be considered for expansion. Shreveport Little Rock Santa Fe San Diego San Jose Portland Spokane El Paso Topeka Louisville Raleigh Charleston SC Orlando Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Florida New Orleans but play at Tulane Lubbock Albuquerque Columbus Ohio Sioux Falls Bismarck Topeka Salt Lake City Reno Bangor or Portland Maine Atlantic City Dover Laramie Omaha Albany Springfield Illinois or Dekalb Biloxi Mobile Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Boise Milwaukee Detroit And a few other cities could be choices from the selection of candidates I have above. I think of the cities I listed at least 4, if not more, worthy expansion cities are there.

IMO, the league needs to expand by at least 4 teams AND they need to not schedule 3 teams twice in one season on a 10 game schedule (ie DC played STL, SA, and ARL twice).

What about Milwaukee?

They should bring back all the teams from both leagues

Bring Salt Lake back into the new fold

I think the sea dragon and viper need to come back to get the league in the west

at one point i was thinking this league was gonna be trouble for the cfl. not so much anymore.

Good attendance corresponds to cities without NFL teams.Personally, I would connect teams to NFL teams as a development league, as the NFL did with a European league years ago. I doubt that would happen.

I know it's a long shot. But I like seeing if they put one in Shreveport, La not New Orleans. New Orleans got the saints and pelicans.

Bring back the Jacksonville Bulls. That burgundy, orange, black and silver were awesome looking

Did you know Omaha had the nighthawks football team? Almost every game was sold out.

Only expand if you're going to go to cities without an NFL team. Portland, Salt Lake, OKC

San Antonio Commanders were awesome!👍

Franchise the darn thing!

XFL Seattle Sea Dragons and USFL New Orleans Breakers make sense but how about the XFL Orlando Guardians or USFL Renegade's or AAF Orlando Apollo's.

Please. No New York team name if they PHYSICALLY PLAY in NEW JERSEY. Just remember this, folks. The State of New Jersey has only ONE professional sports team. The New Jersey Devils 👿. 👌

Ive been saying oregon. Especially if you get a few oregon/oregon state legends to either play or coach that team will generate fans.

-Wouldn't make sense to call Salt Lake Stallions but could call them the Broncos or Mustangs. -Portland is a terrible city, everything about it is just garbage. It would be a terrible choice for any business trying to grow out there. -Logistically it makes sense to move into the Florida and East coast markets first before expanding out West. Overall, great video!

All right. Pump your brakes here a little bit!!! Here's why!, number one you never put a franchise in a city that has an NFL NBA NHL or Major League baseball franchise. That's a recipe for disaster. Number two, you go to markets where neither of the four major league teams or leagues are in existence. If they are having trouble as it is getting attendance numbers with eight teams, what makes you think attendance is going to get any better with 12 or 16 teams? This thing will fold as fast as you can say. Check please! Number three, alternative football leagues have never been an attraction. They've always been a niche attraction for football fans who only like football only. These fans are not going to watch the NBA Major League baseball or NHL. They are die hard football people that love football. No matter if it comes from the Canadian football League, some of the indoor leagues or hell college football, spring games that is. So expanding it really would be a waste of time and you're going to go in debt. Because if you don't get the monies necessary to support the expansion, then it's going to flop.. Now this is how you run an alternative football league. 1). You go to areas where there's neither an NFL NBA NHL or Major league sports team. Where you have the market to yourself and you can focus on marketing and promoting your team in that market. 2). You have to do things that the NFL is not doing. 3). You need to know the market that you're going to. Because yes, I could put a franchise in Oakland, California where the raiders , the Athletics, and the warriors used to play. But what happens if the people in Oakland start to really get attracted to Las Vegas? Or San Francisco? You got to look at if that market is a feeder support system for other major league sports teams. I learned this from Jim Foster of the arena football League. When they went into the 1988 season and the league had a franchise in Providence, Rhode Island called the steamwheelers. And Mr. Foster asked one of the production guys from ESPN. Hey you know what you think about arena football? The ESPN workers is all. It's a nice product. You know it's cool. Mr. Foster didn't like that answer so he asked again. Well what is this market connected to? He said yeah. This Providence Rhode Island market is connected to Boston and majority of the people here in Providence, Rhode Island are fans of the bruins, the Celtics, the Patriots, and the Red Sox. Now during that season, it was the NHL and NBA. And tonight everybody is coming to watch the Boston bruins because something big was happening in that organization with a key player. So it made sense that Foster looked around and saw that he only had 7,000 people in attendance when he was told this was a great market and man this thing's going to be a sell-out every game it wasn't. He was told to a tail. So just because you go to a non-major League, sports market does not necessarily mean that the people in that area are going to get behind this product. That is an alternative football league on alternative sports League to the major leagues. You have to really be careful and do your due diligence and do your homework when it comes to this. 3). Company of one: ° staying small and deliberately limited growth. ° smaller audiences have higher chances of success. ° technological advancements are a major factor in getting quick cash to get the ball rolling. In this company of one philosophy,,, the company does not continuously aim higher. It sets the amount of money it needs to make. The goal should be to reach a specific audience. The more niche, the better. Forget about investing. Big up front. Focus on making small profits instead. So with this plan that I'm talking to you about, and in the current marketplace for alternative sports. The main plan here is if you want to stick around longer and be around to give more opportunities to players to play their game and to be able to enjoy a career in doing what they love, I will suggest to you to get this book by Paul Jarvis called the company of one. I read this book. It is business proof and how you can last longer. A lot of these new leagues need to start really focusing on solopreneurs. And just focus on a niche. Because currently as I'm speaking, Major League sports leagues are dominant and they have name recognition and they get the majority of the country's attention. Alternative sports leagues only get on average 3/4 of a percent at the most and to about 1/4 of a percent the least. So let's focus more on the people who show up to the games. Let's find different places where we can play the game where our niche audience can be accommodated. Maybe playing in major stadiums and big stadiums that seat about 67,000 will not be economically responsible or may not be physically profitable. Now DC or the defenders is a reasonable stadium because it accommodates less people so you're able to fill it easier. St. Louis is getting the traction because they're the only game in football that is there. Now. Mind you, this happened before with the Baltimore stallions of the CFL. When the NFL abandoned them all and went to Indianapolis, the fan base in that city was angry that the NFL did what they did to them. The mom of the NFL said we're coming back to Baltimore, the fans in that market abandoned the stallions. So what makes you think that if the NFL today decided to go to St. Louis or come back to St. Louis, the people of St. Louis will not abandon the Battle Hawks? You have to think about that. Logically we don't want to be the guinea pigs in any market. So My philosophy is the company of one philosophy which I ask all sports persons that are going to invest in an alternative football or sports markets or leagues or teams, to really focus primarily on the audience that's already there and to spend more time building relationships with those persons and not trying to extend beyond that. Greatest success story is a sports entertainment company by the name of the ovw which stands for Ohio valley wrestling. They have lasted long because they stayed in their market, particularly Kentucky, Ohio and parts of Tennessee. They stay within their little market area and they put on a hellified show nationally. They sell about 500 to 700 pay-per-view buys at about $14.99 for the pay-per-view and they do well with that. Now if I ran The UFL/usfl/xfl, I will pick the top four teams. Found out where our success is and I would go from there. Four teams is not a whole lot no, but if I'm successful and profitable with four teams then losing money on eight teams, I rather go with less than get more

LOL neither of these teams are making it to the WS.. imo
