From what I understand, the Vipers trademark didn't get renewed, so there won't be The Vegas Vipers, or Tampa Bay Vipers. However you could definitely have Tampa Bay Bandits, and either The Las Vegas Gamblers, or Outlaws (The latter would go to Oklahoma)
Most underrated video out there. Please do an updated video with the possibility of The UFL buying Sam Boyd Stadium, as a gateway to the West, not Pacific necessarily…
I agree with you 100 percent man I feel that the UFL has some staying power and when the UFL brings all teams back there will be a lot of optimism and energetic fans coming back to build up the UFL fanbase for sure
The reason Memphis isn’t as good in attendance is because 2/3 games were at 11:00. The biggest factor is they have to sit in the sun this year. It is brutal sitting on that side.
And the team has been awful, who wants to go spend time and money to watch a team that gets blown out in almost every game. I truly believe that if the team was better, they would have over 7,000 at every game easily.
@@ZombPhoxUFL Honestly, I believe if you move a team to Montana, they will pack the stadium. Look at Montana and Montana State college teams. They play FCS and pack the stadium. Montana wants sports.
The Maulers should only return if it's in Pittsburgh since they already went through the trouble to change their color scheme to the black and gold. I do like the possibility of the Canton Bulldogs a lot due to the history of the team as well as the stadium deals reportedly being really good their.
@ZombPhoxUFL it won't work. The market is already over saturated as it is. For many of the same reasons the hounds aren't in the mls. Never mind highmarks close proximity to the roadway on the south grandstand side, there'd just not enough room for them here.
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
I said it before that if they are being forced to expand in 2025 then the Vegas Vipers would be the easiest to bring back but if we're talking about 2026 then they could keep the Vipers as a southwest team either place them in Arizona or New Mexico though Vegas would still be the better option in my opinion as Las Vegas is a growing city. I don't the league should actally sell the teams but sell what I'm calling "profit rights" which would come with responsibilities of the holders of the profit rights of each team where they would take care of the paying players and transporting them to games as well as promoting the team's brands to make a profit though the league would hold 5% of the profit rights of each team to bring in funding for the league
I think the league does need to sell the teams but have a clause or two in the contract to basically say that the owner cannot just fold the team or leave the league, and instead be forced to give/sell the team back to FOX/RedBird if they ever want to stop owning the team.
As far as ownership goes, I think they should do something like the MLS. Have team “investors” and once you build a new stadium for that team then you are an “owner”
Been looking forward to this. Great analysis and information! I just don’t get why money is such an issue especially with expansion. With ownership interest coming from Fox, RedBird, Disney, The Rock, etc. we’re talking about billion dollar corporations. It doesn’t seem like a lack of money to fund this but almost unwillingness to spend it
Thank you! It is not surprising to me to see the owners not want to invest too heavily in the league as you do not want to go spend over $500M and end up losing over $100M so I do get it.
I say put the Vipers or Guardians in Ohio. Both these teams IMO really don't have a city associated with them anymore. Vipers failed big time in Vegas and they are not going back. The Guardians failed in Orlando and only played twice in New York with low attendance.
The reality most of the US Population lives East of the Mississippi. UFL already has one team on the East Coast, the DC Defenders, and needs to focus on the East Coast for the next phase. Put the New Jersey in Red Bull Arena, Philadelphia Stars to play at Subaru Park. bring back the Pittsburgh Maulers, and maybe move the Guardians to Hartford or even Rochester New York. After that then yes head west and bring back the Seattle Sea Dragons, Oakland Invaders, San Diego Wildcats (formerly the LA Wildcats), Arizona Wranglers, Los Angeles Express, Portland Vipers (formerly the Vegas Vipers), and Denver Gold
Hey man, I think you do a good job with this channel. I have a random question for you: do you think the Roughnecks should stay at Rice Stadium next year to keep it consistent or is Rice part of the attendance problem and they should move back to TDECU?
Thank you! As for your question it seems very apparent that Rice stadium is a big issue for attendance as while the decision to keep the Gamblers but rebrand them as the Roughnecks completely backfired, the stadium is still a big issue. Sadly TDECU won't be ready until the 2026 season I believe, but if possible the league should move Houston to Shell stadium which is a 22,000 soccer stadium much like Audi Field.
When I posted my expansion video I got hammered by several for including New Mexico, but I maintain it could be a valid option simply because it is an untapped market in an area of the country that is essentially a pro football desert. I say give the fans there a chance to prove the doubters wrong. Great video! Appreciate the thought you put into it. 👊
I do think it can work as while I get the argument of "there's a reason why none of the big 4 leagues are there" I think when it comes to spring football I say why not? While heat is naturally a big issue there we do have 3 teams in Texas so the higher ups don't seem to view that as a big issue ATM. Thank you 🙏!
There’s a reason it’s a football desert…however, UFL need to be in non-NFL cities….so I’m not opposed to a team in New Mexico(Albuquerque); but, I would look at other locations first, before NM.
The XFL can still use its original team names?!? The San Diego Thunderbolts sounds perfect. The Chargers were known as the Bolts so it’s almost too good
If I remember (and understand trademark laws well enough) all those names are considered dead trademarks since they haven't been used in so long which would allow the UFL to file for (and due to the Rock's relationship ship with WWE) them and will have an almost guarantee of getting them.
They should go to Omaha the market would be huge there.. in the old UFL they got anywhere from 15,000 to 24,000 fans a game along with Sacramento... seems like an No brainer to me especially since it's on the border of 2 states as well that don't have any Pro Teams And would attract a lot of fans
It definitely feels like the first city the UFL will go to that doesn't have a former USFL or XFL team would be either Omaha or Columbus, which both are really solid options.
I mean they said there looking like there thinking toward the future. So im sure the Breakers would be back asap. But since they aren’t gonna be done until 2026. So you gotta bring back someone like NJ Generals or teams with a Stadium already available. But don’t put them in MetLife. That’s way too big.
In terms of legacy teams, I would imagine the Breakers, Dragons, Maulers, and Guardians are among the teams the league probably wants back soon, and then all the others a bit after them IMO.
I don’t think the Generals will be back in New Jersey, it is sad. All the stadiums in New Jersey like to pretend they are in New York and if they let a New Jersey team play there it will break the illusion. I think the New York Guardians will be back first
Unless should stay out of NFL Cities. Especially Cities that have won Super Bowls . Birmingham, Memphis, places like those. Have your own Cities. There are plenty of places prime . Also Cities where the NFL divorced like St Louis they got that one right, but there are a couple more Cities too ufl should jump right in those cities. The two cities having the most trouble both have NFL teams also ; but at least the Panthers were smart enough to use the State name so hopefully they will survive. Go back to New Jersey and Orlando but stay away from NFL Cities ! Establish your own Markets !
I think the areas the NFL abandoned are definitely the best places to go, but having a team in an NFL city really isn't the worst thing as those markets are usually big enough to support multiple pro franchises. Don't forget that the single worst market this past season was Memphis, and the main reason Houston did poorly was the stadium change.
The only issue with the 2026 expansion is that with how the league stands now playoffs are decided halfway into the season Skip Holtz a damn demon and he will lock up an entire conference for awhile I hope by 2026 we could get up to 12 teams however if we are lookin at sustainability Im fine with the wait lol I do agree with the whole point of learn your markets however based on the leaks Im hearin they want 12 by next year which I do disagree with for the reasons you have stated However I do want enough teams for multiple rounds in the playoffs soonish(12-16 allows an 8 team playoff which allows you to have multiple rounds in the postseason giving more hype) so we get more rounds than the Birmingham wins and the XFL championship I do want the indiviual ownership handled sooner tho I hope at least the Showboats, Battlehawks and Panthers get owners sooner rather than later Preferably the Stallions, Defenders, and Brahmas as well(I have 0 hope for Houston or Arlington rn) So the expansion works better
Well the only reason the playoffs are locked up is because Memphis and Alrington have been disappointments. If they were good this would be a different situation. Ofc there Houston which isn’t even Houston. DC is a bit Dissapointing this year.
The issue with the playoffs is more of just how the season has played out with the Renegades, Roughnecks, and Showboats being so bad, as last year in the USFL we still didn't have any team eliminated until week 9 if I remember correctly.
@@ZombPhoxUFL In the USFL last year we also kinda knew who was gonna be in the post season for most of it Its just the result of a 8 team league Its not a bad thing Id just personally prefer something bigger Plus with how coaching is in this league I dont not expect this to carry over into next year Skip will have a powerhouse and own the USFL side Hawks and DC will fight for the XFL side with SA and Arlington lookin to play spoiler Its why I want the ownership settled first so mfs can take control of this lol
@@Nope-gk3yr On the XFL side its not too bad but the USFL side is more the result of the fact some teams need to be bad and since there are 5 teams at .500 or better, there has to be a few teams to burden those losses lol Dc isnt even doing that bad lol Its just a 5 team league effectively(which is what will happen here, the XFL was effectively a 4 team league until Arlington caught fire) In a 10 teamer it would look a little better In a 12/16 teamer it would be fine This doesnt mean rush to that Again I want owners first Get the Showboats sold, the Hawks sold, Michigan sold, Birmingham sold, DC sold, and San Antonio sold.

That's not a bad idea, but given the recent trademarks and the TV ratings that Columbus had I would imagine that Columbus gets an expansion team before Omaha, but I wouldn't be too shocked to see Omaha get one.
Don't worry I'm going to put those defunct teams in my independent professional football league that will begin play in a couple of years North Divison New Jersey Generals Pittsburgh Maulers Seattle Sea Dragons Salt Lake Stallions South Divison San Antonio Gunslingers New Orleans Breakers Vegas Vipers Arizona Hotshots Those are the teams that will be in my league I've brought back 4 USFL teams 2 XFL teams and 2 AAF teams do you like my football league idea
I'd love to see the Maulers and Sea Dragons return. If that were to be its own separate league, I'd say that they're solid choices with the only two that I'd change being Salt Lake for Atlanta and Vegas for San Diego.
@@ZombPhoxUFL bringing back historic USFL XFL or AAF teams in my league the Vegas vipers could play at Allegiant Stadium and the Salt Lake stallions can play at Rice Eckles Stadium
I think the best thing to do is bring back at least one legacy team (Breakers, Maulers, or Sea Dragons preferably) during the first expansion and you can add an expansion team to a city like Columbus which has had great UFL TV ratings and does not have a lot of major sports teams as they only have an NHL team from the big 4 leagues and just two other "big" teams in an MLS and Triple-A team.
IDK I feel like the UFL has 2 main roads for generating revenue, attendance which goes with team ownership and tv ratings which goes with network deals. Only one of these roads are lighting up like Michael Jackson signing smooth criminal! Play to your strengths, put 2-4 teams in the 4 major tv markets (NY, LA, Chicago, Philly) create a Sunday night football timeslot on ABC and/or FOX, promote SNF during the other 4-5 games, then you take the numbers to NBC and CBS and sell SNF. Then with the network money you can travel to Seattle
@@DanielDavid1219 I’m sure if it were that simple they would’ve done it already. I think these markets have potential you just have to plant your roots and be in it for the long run. obviously down the line u wanna tap into those big tv markets but this is a process

I personally think it would be really cool to see the UFL revive the Denver Gold.
The reason Memphis isn’t as good in attendance is because 2/3 games were at 11:00. The biggest factor is they have to sit in the sun this year. It is brutal sitting on that side.

That and the stadium isn't built for spring football at all.
Tampa Bay Bandits, if The Buccaneers have a bad season.
Canton bulldogs makes sense. The maulers should go to columbus. It makes allot more sense.
The Maulers should only return if it's in Pittsburgh since they already went through the trouble to change their color scheme to the black and gold. I do like the possibility of the Canton Bulldogs a lot due to the history of the team as well as the stadium deals reportedly being really good their.

I would call San Diego the Armada
How about a Breakers Division?

San Diego Breakers
😂
More than likely the UFL will use already existing teams they have so the San Diego will be the Wild Cats

I disagree. I think they should add 2 teams in 2025. The 2 more in 2026.
Bring back Breakers and Maulers for next year. Then go west OKC and San Diego for 26.
The Breakers definitely need to be one of the first teams back.
@ZombPhoxUFL who wouldn't want to see the black and gold anyway. Besides, that's a great team name. They'd draw better than Memphis and Houston
Those Maulers jerseys were really nice, and I do think they would be a solid draw as well.
The only issue with the 2026 expansion is that with how the league stands now playoffs are decided halfway into the season
Skip Holtz a damn demon and he will lock up an entire conference for awhile
I hope by 2026 we could get up to 12 teams however if we are lookin at sustainability Im fine with the wait lol
I do agree with the whole point of learn your markets
however based on the leaks Im hearin they want 12 by next year which I do disagree with for the reasons you have stated
However I do want enough teams for multiple rounds in the playoffs soonish(12-16 allows an 8 team playoff which allows you to have multiple rounds in the postseason giving more hype) so we get more rounds than the Birmingham wins and the XFL championship
I do want the indiviual ownership handled sooner tho
I hope at least the Showboats, Battlehawks and Panthers get owners sooner rather than later
Preferably the Stallions, Defenders, and Brahmas as well(I have 0 hope for Houston or Arlington rn)
So the expansion works better
Well the only reason the playoffs are locked up is because Memphis and Alrington have been disappointments. If they were good this would be a different situation. Ofc there Houston which isn’t even Houston. DC is a bit Dissapointing this year.

Its just a 5 team league effectively(which is what will happen here, the XFL was effectively a 4 team league until Arlington caught fire)
In a 10 teamer it would look a little better
In a 12/16 teamer it would be fine
This doesnt mean rush to that
Again I want owners first
Get the Showboats sold, the Hawks sold, Michigan sold, Birmingham sold, DC sold, and San Antonio sold.
Getting them sold will tie up 6 steady franchises in the league while you expand to make the league look more competitive
Bc my Stallions need to dominate more teams.
Best reason for a fan to want expansion right here!
I think if the UFL wants to expand a little west how about Omaha to get in the middle of the United states later in the future
That's not a bad idea, but given the recent trademarks and the TV ratings that Columbus had I would imagine that Columbus gets an expansion team before Omaha, but I wouldn't be too shocked to see Omaha get one.
