I’m a Birmingham Stallions fan so this doesn’t effect me, but the USFL really needs to get everyone into home stadiums next year. Covid pandemic protocols are long over. We have a home field for sure, but this is ridiculous.
@@kennethpoole5354 yea the actual field does look better but cashman looked better with 6k fans in the stands, it was empty for both Sunday USFL games u will never see a XFL game that empty
Definitely! Love was right on the money threading the needle with some of those passes. The D was on their game, too, with the picks, the forced fumbled and recoveries. I think us Panthers fans can look forward to having more to cheer about this year this season.
Back in the day. Didn't the NFL absorb the original usfl? If anything the xfl and usfl combine and do something. 🤔 Overall I've seen more fans at independent wrestling shows! 😅 I know this league just started their season but the xfl is definitely a better product!
If the Michigan Panthers hecome good this year, not only will it be good for them, but also the league. It will show that being drafted to the USFL can be fulfilling and shows parity in the league. This is a win-win, and I hope the USFL takes a big leap this year.
@Dz Nutz that "subpar talent" is still way better than you or I. They don't need to be the best to put on a great game. They're also not a bunch of lazy overpaid jerks like in Goodell's league. These guys actually CARE about football.
The original USFL was wonderful, and these new leagues are different but pretty wonderful too. The players are professionals, and we get to watch spring football!
Last season, the Panthers would have gone 8-2 if their one score games were reversed. If they can actually close out games like they did today, they might have something.
Houston is only playing in Memphis for a year. It’s more about the quality of the product than attendance right now. At least we have 3 new markets this season!
Panthers are going to be a force to reckon with…they looked sharp in this game. I saw them In Birmingham live last year as they played my Stallions…a very memorable experience. Michigan is officially my favorite northern team 👍
Two things: Get teams in their markets! It would create a greater fan experience. Second, have your schedule align with XFL and have a championship game USFL vs XFL!
The comparison doesn’t make sense. This is a neutral site game. But I don’t have a particular problem with them playing at Cashman either. It was the best they could do.
I am coming onboard as a Michigan Panthers fan. I love my Detroit Lions, but the NFL seems too corrupt. That prevents me from the pure enjoyment of watching football games. Anyway, glad to be able to cheer for another Michigan “pro” football team, buy from its sponsors, maybe come to a game when they are held in Detroit and enjoy watching games.

I prefer XFL but I'm happy for all the guys getting that opportunity. I want a merger so both leagues can work together, unite the fan bases, and be a true nationwide league. MERGER! MERGER! MERGER!
The only downside with the USFL and XFL competing with each other is the quality of both leagues will be hindered. There’s only so many good football players out there, and now they are really being split between the two leagues. Would love to see a merger in a couple years, or if not a merger work on creating a partnership like promotion/relegation between to the two leagues to consolidate the talent and make a better product.
Nope compete. Someone will figure out a market inefficiency and it will just raise the quality of play. Sink or swim unfortunately, either way spring football will be better for it
josh Love actually outplayed Jordan Love in their final seasons in the Mountain West. Jordan ranked behind Josh and yet Jordan is about to finally start in the NFL and Josh must share time with another cast off from small school USA. It's a MAd world out there.
They need to sort out the stadium thing. Lack of attendance is going to kill this thing, just go ahead and put the teams in their home cities. What's the point of traveling to another state/city to watch home games in another city?
The idea is minimize travel-costs for the participating teams. On the fan side, I talked to a guy from Nashville who traveled to Birmingham last year. He got to watch 4 games per weekend for some low VIP ticket-price(s). By accident, he booked rooms at the same hotel most of the players were staying at; and got to hang with them in the hotel lounge.
@@jimstrict-998 I know what the thinking is but look at the idiocy of Philly fans having to travel to another city to watch a home game. I know it's a cost thing but you can see the apathy as well as the empty seats.
Tv networks for first 3 years then read after that they want to try to sell franchises to someone in their home markets by years 4 and 5 but as of now have read they have a 7 year plan
The Gamblers can play at Rice stadium next year when usfl teams play in thier home markets they can probably draw as big a crowd as the roughnecks do at TDECU stadium
We’ll probably because Michigan are mostly Lion Fans Already same with Houston. And mass majority of the town are already Texans Fans so usfl y’all probably need to look at the states that don’t have a football team not saying the two teams doesn’t need another extra team from the same state but yeah that’s probably why there’s empty seats if you were wondering USFL Owners in general some ppl are about you! lol 😂 😆 🤣
Be kinda cool if they played in the Big House, coming from a Spartan Fan. Honestly I prefer outdoors to a dome plus with it being Spring/Summer there's no excuse not to.
That's why I don't read them before I watch the video. I also try not to look at the thumbnail because most leagues give away the winner of the game in the thumbnail.
Solid win for y’all up in Michigan for sure, but don’t be overhyping it in the comments here. Houston was bad last year, they don’t look better this year. Save your trash talk for when you have a meaningful opponent.
Yeah, last year the Panthers lost a game at the final gun, when their kicker doinked an extra-point off an upright. So what happens this year? Their kicker misses the first extra-point of the season! UH OH!
Gamblers on a hiding to nothing - 3 and 7 last season, play in Memphis 567 miles from Houston and have the Roughnecks running roughshod over the XFL South.
@@car83_ The point is that the USFL has started whilst the XFL is still in play and the Roughnecks are guaranteed a play-off spot and should make the XFL Final. Whether they can beat the Defenders or Sea Dragons in that final is neither here nor there. The Roughnecks actually play their home games IN Houston and have therefore got a fanbase that the Gamblers as they play their home games in Memphis {over 500 miles away} haven't! If the Roughnecks had been bad this season then Houstonites might have transferred their allegiance to the Gamblers this week {even if they couldn't get to the actual game} but they're not going to do that when the Roughnecks are guaranteed a play-off spot and are likely to make the final! - I'm thinking that maybe the Gamblers should have moved to another City....Maybe Jackson Mississippi.
If the DC Defenders can get 51,000 in the stands and the USFL stadiums look like 1000 have showed how can the USFL last? Let’s be honest Fox is losing a lot of money on the USFL and I can’t see a season 3.
The Defenders can’t get 51,000 if for no other reason that their stadium only seems to hold 18,000, which is pretty much the same as what Memphis and Birmingham each had yesterday.
@@nightmareassassin315 They list the Defenders stadium at 20k but most games get around 15k attendance. Over all average for home games is just over 15k for the XFL and about 650k in viewership with around 6-7 games getting over 1 million views.
@@car83_ Then Mike Florio and ProfootballTalk need to be corrected. PFT sounds like it is pro XFL and anti-USFL. I can't see 2 spring leagues next year. Fox Sports owns the USFL and I can't imagine how much $ they have lost so far.

The stadium is virtually empty. I was at a St. Louis Battlehawks game with over 33,000 other fans.
They need to have the usfl winners play against the xfl winners every year.
