"Who thought building a 47,000 seat stadium in Birmingham was a good idea??? @TheUFL, UAB and a USL team and you build a 47k seat stadium???"
Birmingham has had a large stadium available for generations. The primary tenant plays D1 football, so 12-15K isn’t gonna cut it. They didn’t build a new stadium to accommodate Spring football. No city is doing that.

Birmingham
The problem has always been and will always be the city of Birmingham. It never fails that any new proposal that comes up in the city is going to be dropped right in the middle of or right next to some dangerous hood. Every single thing they touch feels cheap and in most cases ratchet. Look at how these morons ran the World Games in 2022.

When is the last time UAB has reached 20k?

Not really. I think St. Louis is the only team that reguarly had large crowds
Unrelated to Birmingham but I went to St. Louis early last year and stayed downtown. Was an absolute ghost town Friday night, then all of a sudden around 10 am saturday morning downtown was packed with people seeminly within minutes. People kept doing this fricking screeching thing and I had no idea what was happening because I forgot that the UFL even existing. Game happened and after the game downtown immediately returned to a ghost town. Was such an odd experience, but damn those people loved their Battlehawks

They average about 20k per year the last 3-4 years, even with how shitty Dilfer did. Would love to see them get fun to watch again.
I've said for a while they should lean more into doing some thursday night games and such. I think they could get more of the auburn/alabama fans at a thursday night game. Play into the thirsty thursday type stuff that the minor league baseball teams do. You just aren't going to compete on saturdays attendance wise.

They still need to have the illusion of bigger crowds and maximize actual ticket sales. I’m not saying 47,000 is ideal, but 12-15K won’t allow you to maintain D1 status.

According to Wikipedia, October 4, 2025, against Army. They also reached the 20,000+ mark against Alabama State to start the 2025 season, again according to Wikipedia.

This is what the UFL’s co-owner said last week:
That guy is a fricking idiot and is constantly berating people for not showing up to a product he's done a very good job of making it extremely hard to carte about.

wow... proof of what a shite product the UFL is, because with every other league that has has a team in Birmingham it usually had great numbers and some of the strongest fan support
