Arena football is not real football. The product and whatever it offered has worn off. A legitimate football league in the spring in mostly Southern and Southwestern cities would do well. 8-10 teams play 10 game schedule. Two divisions and the winners play for the title.
There are a ton of college stars and veteran NFL guys with names looking for jobs.

Great point! Place some "minor league" franchises in the south. Christ, they have 100k show up for spring games. They're dying to watch something!

where are the fans gonna come from? it's still minor league football going up against baseball and basketball
is August through February not long enough or something?
A lot of what builds a football fanbase is game significance (where your team fits in on its level and in the larger picture of the sport itself) and history. a new spring league would have 0 of both

quote:well, it's a new league, it will have to grow. It starts locally, everyone excited about the new squad in town. They start winning, adding fans, getting a uniquely talented player(albeit renting him, like college), rivalries, love/hate. It all developes over time. Who would've thought 100 years ago institutions of higher learning would have the rabid fan bases we have today?

You can't deny this: there seems to be an insatiable appetite for football in this country. This would become another layer rapped up in our brains between fantasy football and the draft

don't convince us it would work, convince 8-10 multi-millionaires... most football fans are happy with the NFL and major college football, and maybe their local Friday night high school game.
Someone in media will call a new league a joke, convince the uneducated masses not to watch it, and it will fail

Yep. I don't really get the mentality (for any sport). How about DOING something instead of watching something?
