I've really been enjoying spring football since they brought it back. I hate this time of year because as a Cubs fan we are just mediocre since winning it all. We can never beat the Brewers either.

TV really sucks this time of year too, so I'm loving the UFL. It's high quality football, anyone who says otherwise hasn't watch enough or is just hating.

I've watched a few games and have been impressed with the quality of play. These guys are talented professionals hoping to do something to warrant a look from an NFL team.

I think you can throw out Memphis's attendance numbers. The Liberty Bowl is a dump and Memphians have been bitter since the 1990s when they didn't get an NFL expansion team, the Oilers/Titans used them as a rest stop for not even one full season, and the CFL and XFL1.0 single seasons with a pro team in Memphis.

Plus, no one wants to be around the Liberty Bowl area after say 6PM.

I think that the sustainable model for a spring football league is to be located in a major metro area as opposed to mid-sized markets like Memphis and San Antonio. At the end of the day, they need asses in seats buying concessions and buying merchandise.

St. Louis could be an exception since there is no one holding on to their Rams or Cardinals to move back.
