I do hope the UFL will be a permanent fixture and will partner up with the NFL. I would like to see what FOX and the USFL were trying to do and bring back all the former USFL teams. I know it will probably take up to 10-15 years with future expansion. Well, this is what I wish the UFL would eventually be like with a league of 28 teams. Once again there would be 2 Conferences, the USFL conference and the XFL conference. Each conference would have 14 teams in them with 2 divisions (with 7 teams in them). The USFL conferences 2 divisions would be the North and South divisions. The North division would consist of the Chicago Blitz, Denver Gold, Hartford Federals (formerly the Washington Federals), Michigan Panthers, New Jersey Generals, Philadelphia Stars, and the Pittsburgh Maulers. The south division would be the Austin Gamblers (formerly the Houston Gamblers), Birmingham Stallions, Jacksonville Bulls, Memphis Showboats, New Orleans Breakers, Orlando Warriors (formerly the Orlando Renegades), and the Tampa Bay Bandits. The XFL conference would have the East and West divisions. The East division would consist of the Arlington Renegades, DC Defenders, Houston Roughnecks, Ohio Guardians (formerly the Orlando Guardians, and yes they play in Canton Ohio), Oklahoma Outlaws, San Antonio Brahmas, and the St. Louis Battlehawks. The West division would consist of the Arizona Wranglers, Los Angeles Express, Portland Vipers (formerly the Vegas Vipers), Salt Lake City Gunslingers (formerly the San Antonio Gunslingers), San Diego Wildcats (formerly the LA Wildcats), Seattle Sea Dragons and the Oakland Invaders (it would probably be San Jose or Sacramento, Northern California for sure for the Invaders since the stadium in Oakland is in dire need of repairs). I know there will be people saying the San Diego team should be the Fleet but that was an AAF team (and the UFL does not have the rights to them) and besides the USFL/XFL would rather bring back the Express and Wildcats. The regular season would be a 13-game season
Eventually they will become the minor league for the NFL!! Take basketball for example,it was about 15 years now that minor league basketball started. It used to be you went from either high school(if you were better than excellent) or college basketball to the NBA,but the ones who never made it ended up getting locked out! Then the advent of summer league NBA which was a prerequisite to minor league NBA changed everything!!
@@dimitriberozny3729 I think it already is. But I do see a lot of talent in the UFL. Also you will have players in the NFL being cut and ending up in the UFL (which is already happening)
Why?????? The Guardians had the worst attendance there. If you bring the Guardians back the best 2 locations would be Canton Ohio or Hartford Connecticut
A smaller stadium with areas to walk around and socialize and view the game at the same time is something executives do not value but I value as a fan. If I must sit in an assigned seat to watch a game I feel like I am in kiddie prison.. or public school as Nazis call it.
If the UFL expires , I think the networks should offer some of the smaller college football Conferences a deal to Play football in the Spring. There are to many College football teams to follow in the Fall anyway. It’s a no brainer .
Large markets are not always best. Smaller markets will have more loyal fans especially when some smaller cities may have a vast region of multiple minor league cities. If I were to go to a so cal location I might pick San Bernardino or Riverside
Can't believe you didn't mention Omaha.. they got 15 to 24,000 fans a game and it would be a huge market there He appeared with two states that don't have any pro teams And it's right on the border Between two states. I think the market would be huge there
I have concerns with San Diego, I would prefer Phoenix if they had an indoor stadium they would have great attendance plus 12th market. I like San Jose/Sacramento for a team. I also have concerns about Chicago because the Cubs have such a loyal fan base plus White Sox. I would prefer Denver because the Rockies are weak plus 18th market.
Put a team back in Denver. The Denver Gold was very successful and had higher attendance numbers back then than half (4 teams combined) of the teams in the spring league now.
I'd Prefer if there was 10 or 12 teams that everybody played each other once before the playoffs instead of twice in the division.. maybe be different if there were 16
I like the thinking, although keeping divisions based on USFL VS XFL will add travel costs. I feel adding teams to large(ish) markets without NFL teams would be the better step forward. Yes, you're not getting the NY/Philly or SF/Oakland markets but I have my doubts that either of those markets will travel to New Jersey or San Jose respectively. My choices for expansion cities (CAPS) and divisions with market rank West East SACRAMENTO - 20 COLUMBUS, OH - 32 SALT LAKE CITY - 29 St. Louis - 24 SAN DIEGO - 30 Detroit - 14 Houston - 6 Wash D.C. - 9 Arlington - 5 Memphis - 50 San Antonio - 31 Birmingham - 46 These are all large(ish) cities that currently have no NFL team and while Sacramento and San Diego have spring competition from the NBA and MLB, the UFL ticket prices should be less than MLS tickets (current avg of $45-55), much less actually. Columbus will likely be inside of the Top 30 in the next few years as it's one of the fastest growing cities in the US and will be opening an Intel semiconductor plant within the next few years spurring that growth. Salt Lake is making moves for MLB and NHL franchises and Sacramento only has the Kings to compete against (I'm obviously excluding minor league teams). All-in-all these are markets on the upswing.
Cloumbus is the largest city in Ohio. They could play in zOhio Stadium . There is a wealth of fans wanting.more football. They fillIO Stadium at 100,000 for eah Ohio State game. Give Columbus a try and you won't be disappointed 😊
1. New Orleans Breakers-NOLA Superdome 2. Philadelphia Stars-Eagles Field 3. Pittsburgh Maulers-Acrisure Stadium 4. New Jersey Generals-MetLife Stadium 5. Vegas Vipers-Allegiant Stadium 6. Tampa Bay Bandits- Raymond James Stadium 7. Houston Gamblers-NRG Stadium 8. Dallas Gunslingers-AT&T Stadium 9. Arizona Hotshots- State Farm Stadium 10. Seattle SeaDragons-Lumen Field 11. Baltimore Blitz-M&T Bank Stadium
Breakers will play at Yulman Stadium, Generals should play at Red Bull Arena. No way should the Vipers play at Allegiant Stadium, move them to Portland. UFL will not use any AAF teams so probably any Arizona team would be the Wranglers
This should happen, at lest this is what I would do if I owned the UFL. St. Louis, San Antonio, DC, Birmingham, should stay were they are. Allington should move to Oakland, or San Diego. Houston should go to El Paso or else Little Rock Albuquerque, or Tulsa. Memphis should get a complete rebrand and go to Honolulu with a name like Hawaii Islanders Lava, Fury or Sharks or better yet Hawaii Breakers. Michigan should go to Omaha or Milwaukee. For expansion they should take it easy, but I would try to go with Sault Lake City, Boise, Louisville, and Anchorage. You could use old XFL and or USFL names like Dragons, Gold, Legends etc.. But some other great names would be Utah Lakers, Boise Mountaineers, Louisville Wildcats, and Anchorage Kings. The key is to go to cities that don't have NFL teams, preferably in States without a NFL team, or a market were the NFL teams are not doing well.
Please stop using the word "market" when referring to metropolitan areas. You're making it sound like we fans are just customers. Also, the plan is to slowly repopulate the teams they had to put "in stasis." So, of the metro areas you're talking about, it's Philly and Jersey - and I have heard those are on deck for possibly next year.
I mean for all case and purposes fans are just customers lol From a financial point of veiw at least They are going to 12 next year Then 16 after that assuming everything runs fine
Unfortunately I don’t think the UFL will survive 2024 . The league is not drawing any attendance in most of the cities and the Networks are already blacking out games. It’s a shame .
I would pick cities without NFL teams. San Diego, San Jose, Portland OR, Salt Lake City, El Paso, Oklahoma City, Milwaukee, Louisville...
You need a combination of both. Right now half of the teams in the UFL are not in an NFL markets

You should put Orlando Guardias next season

If I were to go to a so cal location I might pick San Bernardino or Riverside
If you want Network coverage like FOX/NBC/ABC you will need some large markets regardless

i would like to see the ufl expand to 28 teams max,and open new markets,no more markets with existing nfl teams,,
Just add the teams that hit taken out during the merger
I have concerns with San Diego, I would prefer Phoenix if they had an indoor stadium they would have great attendance plus 12th market. I like San Jose/Sacramento for a team. I also have concerns about Chicago because the Cubs have such a loyal fan base plus White Sox. I would prefer Denver because the Rockies are weak plus 18th market.

Salt Lake City, Utah
Northwestern's field is being demolished
Your analysis of Northern California left out the Sacramento Kings (NBA)
We need a team in Oakland. What's stopping that?
I'd Prefer if there was 10 or 12 teams that everybody played each other once before the playoffs instead of twice in the division.. maybe be different if there were 16
I just want a professional football team in Kentucky, i don't even care if there good
San Diego!
Why do they keep putting teams in the NFL cities? Cant, they see it does not work.
Philly in Franklin Field would work.
Philadelphia Stars at Eagles Field is better to keep the stadium ticket money rolling
What about the Seattle Seahawks Dragons?
I think San Jose is a good idea. Oakland is just not appealing and San Francisco is too competitive
UFL WILL NOT USE AAF TEAMS. THEY DON'T HAVE THE RIGHTS TO THEM

Well, they have to bring back Seattle first. After that, Oakland and San Diego - take advantage of the F*CK THE NFL energy (aka St. Louis v2 & v3).
BRING BACK THE ORLANDO GUARDIANS AND NJ GENERALS AND ADD 2 TEAMS OUT WEST
1. New Orleans Breakers-NOLA Superdome
2. Philadelphia Stars-Eagles Field
3. Pittsburgh Maulers-Acrisure Stadium
4. New Jersey Generals-MetLife Stadium
5. Vegas Vipers-Allegiant Stadium
6. Tampa Bay Bandits- Raymond James Stadium
7. Houston Gamblers-NRG Stadium
8. Dallas Gunslingers-AT&T Stadium
9. Arizona Hotshots- State Farm Stadium
10. Seattle SeaDragons-Lumen Field

Breakers will play at Yulman Stadium, Generals should play at Red Bull Arena. No way should the Vipers play at Allegiant Stadium, move them to Portland. UFL will not use any AAF teams so probably any Arizona team would be the Wranglers
@@kpowers The United Football League should play at NFL Stadiums in order to keep the Big Ticket profit money rolling
@@kpowers is it because you think I look like an idiot?
Orlando Guardians-Camping World Stadium
@@GloriaGrothe But they had horrible attendance
