Before criticizing the empty stands, keep in mind: * Kickoff was delayed because of heavy thunderstorms * Birmingham has always had a reputation of walk-up ticket sales for all sports * Scheduled 11 am kickoff on Easter Sunday in very heavy church-going, Bible Belt Alabama * The Birmingham Stallions played last night, drawing a healthy crowd to Protective Stadium. * Many may think Birmingham area has good sized population, but is equivalent to metro areas of Grand Rapids, Michigan or Rochester, New York.
@@JulioGarcia-pj8rq yup, the NFL needs to get some real competition. That way they can either quit the bullshit or eventually be passed by another league as the top football league
Be cool if the NFL can use leagues like this sort of like the NBA does the G-league. Every team gets a developmental team, and if you have a player you think needs to play but you don’t think he’s ready for NFL competition yet you can send him down to the USFL for a year or until you think he’s ready. Really make some money for the NFL and open the USFL to more viewers in turn making them some money
@@alexeditzz02 can y'all please stop saying the NFL can use these leagues as developmental leagues I do not want that to happen and that is not going to happen. If y'all really want to see a NFL developmental League then have them make one themselves stop trying to gobble up other leagues
Interesting game. That drone buzzing is annoying as hell though lol. Edit: That roughing the passer call was BS, they were just trying to bring him down, no ill intent.
@@jerryalexander8803 Yeah it really is annoying....but here is hoping if the league succeeds and they can play with half full stadiums it won't be as noticable......
You haters are funny. The league has been around all of ONE game and y'all are calling for it to fail. This is not NFL football and nor is it supposed to be. Real football people watch the game and respect and enjoy it for what it is....good football! Every game this weekend was decided by 6 pts or less....the games were competitive, WTF are y'all looking for?! There is room in this country for more than one professional football league to exist...we have to much football talent in this country to say that only 700 guys can play football on the professional level. I hope this league prospers....it provides viable options for guys to continue to play the game they love on a professional level and it also provides quality pro football in the spring. I'm looking forward to the next two seasons and hopefully expansion. Thank you Fox for spring football!!! Let's go USFL!!!
As a cinematographer, I can't help but constantly hear the drones flying around. I am a fan of the footage but I think they are bringing a very distracting element to the fan experience. Either way, I like what I am seeing from an athletic standpoint in this league. Let's go!
I forgot about the drone sound after the first quarter, I think people will get used to it, plus someone will come up with a quieter version designed for live events eventually.
They should use a filter or a limit gate on their audio feed- that would block the high-pitched sound of the camera drone. I guess we're spoiled as fans with the suspended cable camera system the NFL uses...
@@mikeparker6322 absolutely. arguably our worst ever draft pick in our history. at least Tebow took us to the playoffs. Maddox you can argue but he had a good season with the steelers before big ben. i cant think of anyone else worse than Lynch.
For those asking about the Attendance. It's owned by FOX Sports. All of the games are in the same stadium this year. It's for betting and TV. Tickets are only $10
12:30 Why the USFL should adopt the one foot in rule for pass completions. That would have been considered a completed pass in Canada and in college football.
That wouldnt have counted in any level of football... the dude didnt have possession until after he had a foot down out of bounds! hit off his hands then to his chest
People are going to comment on the fans to be expected give it time only 2nd game also it was a holiday if the product on the field gets better it can be viable but they also in time need to put teams in cities that lost teams like Oakland, st Louis also cities that are hungry for a pro sports team make sure the prices are fan friendly
Not seeing any fans is concerning, but the entire regular season is in Birmingham. Hopefully the TV contracts will hold up for the season. Remember USFL, all you have to do is complete the season.
Al you people complaining about attendance are failing to understand today is a holiday . Most folks either want to be at home with family or sleep in . The league is still young but can only grow
Dude there is zero people in the stands????? Right there alone is a massive financial loss for just 1 game of USFL football? Damn get hustling. You can't come out of the gates like that man. League will fold in 3 to 4 weeks lol. And I love watching this by the way. Anything football you got me.
All the games are played in 1 stadium in BIRMINGHAM it was a weather delay game and it’s Easter. I agree they need to get it together but cut them some slack for this game😂
Easter Sunday combined with Covid, weather delays, and being a secondary football league meant that attendance was going to be up and down for the first week of USFL football. Now that people know there's a season of USFL football going on and seeing it on the TV channels, attendance in future weeks will probably be higher.
I love that because it’s a new league I can be unbiased. The refs caused a Michigan deficit of 14 points. Iffy call for blindside block (definitely should’ve called blocking to the back on ) and a shaky roughing the passer call that could’ve ended a scoring drive .However I do think they’re transparency will allow for fair and constantly improving officiating.
ok level with me, at 4:09 or at 2:52 or 12:25 why are people not saying that play was rigged, why is every time I talk about this on my channel people always keeps talking about NFL rigged, what about XFL and the USFL, some of these plays' might be rigged, why is no one paying any attention to this, and I'm the only one talking about this topic?
that patterson to scarlett connection could be something if cleaned up after this week that could be a scary running game for the panthers.....one thing i dont like about the new USFL we dont need 57 players miced up that is too much
I'm getting sick of these new football leagues shutting down after one season. Please keep this and every other football league we can get. Let's get a real blitz the league started.
Wouldn’t work unless they do a home and home chanpionship where the team who scores the most points over the two games. One with canadian rules one with American.
@@WTMNNJR dude when teams play now the get to choose which have has American or Canadian rules happens all the time in high school and college. Would be something different to draw in people. Plus it was done when the world league was around.
How are you guys feeling about Shea Patterson?
He’s not bad
He's no Bobby Hebert...
He’s not bad, made some mistakes but good plays as well. Offensive line sold though
I think Jordan Ta'amu is the best but Patterson is second best
That fumble was awful. But other that that usual rookie play.
Before criticizing the empty stands, keep in mind:

Hub city model is dumb. I want to support the Generals but I can't watch any games, so why bother? It's just the Spring League.
Agreed look at last night with 17k people in the stands for the inaugural game
@@iancypes5911 Next season they are supposed to be in their home cities though.
Don’t think anyone cared fr
@@iancypes5911 it’s just for one year relax
I like these games. I hope the offseason developmental leagues get enough support to become a mainstay each year.
Hopefully people watch. We need a reason for the nfl to lose money.

Keep putting the highlights I like this league
Wouldn’t matter if this was a Pop Warner League, I still would watch because it’s Football…
Say please jackass
Agree
Same
Me too
Hope the league and players succeed. Last night's game was a good one.
I agree.
If no one shows up like this it won't last another three weeks.. there is no way this league is making money
@@dannyschoe4874 Easter game in the Bible Belt, it’s no problem
@@DankWilliams_Jr. but people go to sporting events on Christmas lol
@@dannyschoe4874 Game was delayed due to thunderstorms in the area- that coupled with an Easter Sunday kinda sums it up.
Interesting game. That drone buzzing is annoying as hell though lol.

Can't wait for football to hit one
@@Jv19979 😂😂😂😂
Yea I can do without the drone too
Should have put him on his head. Were playing pushy league these days
@@jerryalexander8803 Yeah it really is annoying....but here is hoping if the league succeeds and they can play with half full stadiums it won't be as noticable......
Been fun this weekend watching the USFL, so many young players just happy to be playing the game they love. Keep up the excitement!
You can see the talent gap in QB and kicker the most. Still very entertaining tho
Some tough breaks for Michigan. I thought Patterson aside from the fumbles looked like one of the best qbs
You haters are funny. The league has been around all of ONE game and y'all are calling for it to fail. This is not NFL football and nor is it supposed to be.

I see Patterson still fumbles a lot. Some things never change. Go Blue
Lol go blue

Be fair. You could also hear the offensive tackle scratch his balls in that stadium.
I think once fans start packing the arena there will be less drone noises
They should use a filter or a limit gate on their audio feed- that would block the high-pitched sound of the camera drone.
I guess we're spoiled as fans with the suspended cable camera system the NFL uses...
These are good games! Keep 'em comin'!
THANK YOU for posting USFL highlights! I love your channel !!!
05:10 Michigan #7 is like oh theres a fumble? Ill just walk to the sideline.
Dude's their best receiver too lol, Lance Lenoir
He’s being a diva in USFL, wow.
First of all nice highlight clip.
Secondly this league is so entertaining!!!
Some football to watch during nfl offseason! Lovelee!!!
Definitely subscribing . It’s hard to find info on this league
Use twitter
Already see kickings gone be a problem...
Houston might have the best defense in the usfl.
YESSIR
Best logo too
They might have a better defense than the Texans too lol
A really big crowd? $10 per seat. Cris Collinsworth son calling the game. Can't believe Paxton Lynch was once a first round pick in the NFL(Broncos).
shhhhh we dont talk about lynch.... we were desperate okay.
@@loganjones3795 Would this be John Elway's biggest miss in the draft?
@@mikeparker6322 Yes....I cannot think of anyone even remotely close.....
@@mikeparker6322 absolutely. arguably our worst ever draft pick in our history. at least Tebow took us to the playoffs. Maddox you can argue but he had a good season with the steelers before big ben. i cant think of anyone else worse than Lynch.
- Jason Garrett doing color commentary to offend all the Dallas fans supporting the Gamblers
- Alabama home game on Easter Sunday
Everybody loses
Can’t wait for the XFL
Best football I've seen in awhile
For those asking about the Attendance. It's owned by FOX Sports. All of the games are in the same stadium this year. It's for betting and TV. Tickets are only $10
Where is the stadium?
Alabama
It's such a great look for a pro team to be playing in front of ten thousand chairs.
Love the drone, whoever pitched that idea needs a raise
Good to see Paxton Lynch keeping that same energy.
He was awful 🤣
12:30 Why the USFL should adopt the one foot in rule for pass completions. That would have been considered a completed pass in Canada and in college football.
That wouldnt have counted in any level of football... the dude didnt have possession until after he had a foot down out of bounds! hit off his hands then to his chest
The drone camera idea is interesting. Can't wait until someone hits the drone with the ball or the drone flies to low and smashes into someone. Ha ha!
Calling a run play on 3&15 on own 6 yard line - Jeff Fisher you fucking legend
Kinda had to. Way too risky to throw the ball and risk a safety or defensive TD!
Great game!
Real football fans appreciate this
Thank you usfl 🇺🇸 😎!!!
This USFL? I’m digging this!
The drone is cool
🏈 during ⚾️ season!! I absolutely love it!!! #5 on Houston tryna be my fav player!! Lol
Northrup is a beast. Also an undefeated fighter
@@lancebrooks8137 def didn’t kno that. MMA?
@@mauricegolden1774 yes. 4-0 and #6 ranked amateur out of Florida. Played college at FSU.

Should’ve never put Paxton lynch in the game. Patterson played way better from jump even with the fumble
What were your plans with spring college football? JW
Lmao the drone flying around
Let's sell some tickets and get these players some money. --- Thanks for the upload, dbl V. ---
That Blindside block cost em the game
Now we have the NFL, XFL, and USFL. 🏈
Can you show some drone cam highlights? That footage is cutting edge for how good the pilots are. Love these highlights!
If Patterson would’ve held on to the ball a bit more, he’d have looked like a decent nfl backup
Joe Walker looks legit!!
Not seeing any fans is concerning, but the entire regular season is in Birmingham. Hopefully the TV contracts will hold up for the season. Remember USFL, all you have to do is complete the season.
That drone is going ham
this is proof that Elway was drinking on the job
Panthers should have had that for sure. They were far more electrifying on offense
They got toasted lol electrifying where? And who won the game?
electrifying??? how many fumbles were there? yeah stop talking michigan sucks and always will suck
Al you people complaining about attendance are failing to understand today is a holiday . Most folks either want to be at home with family or sleep in . The league is still young but can only grow
What's your excuse for next week? Early Xmas shopping?
I'm not a big drone person, but aren't there silent drones they can use?
Dude there is zero people in the stands????? Right there alone is a massive financial loss for just 1 game of USFL football? Damn get hustling. You can't come out of the gates like that man. League will fold in 3 to 4 weeks lol. And I love watching this by the way. Anything football you got me.

Attendance isn't their priority. Most of the money comes from TV ratings

Now that people know there's a season of USFL football going on and seeing it on the TV channels, attendance in future weeks will probably be higher.
@@yuhser9820 actually 2 stadiums but Protective Stadium is holding most of the games than Legion Field is
sheeesh! the game came down to a second foot not touching down :O
IN CANADIAN FOOTBALL THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A TOUCHDOWN! 🇨🇦 🏈
canada sucks no one cares about canada AMERICA FOREVER
College football too
I don’t know, doesn’t look like he ever had true possession of the ball until he was already out of bounds. The ball was bobbling the whole time.
Michigan needs to teach their QBs to tuck the ball away when they run. That cost them the game.
Michigan almost came back and won, happy Easter everyone!
Anyone know of a way to watch these games live in Europe?
This League Is Fun This Game Was Fun
I love that because it’s a new league I can be unbiased. The refs caused a Michigan deficit of 14 points.

Pretty good game actually
The Texans are the third best pro football team in Houston behind the Drillers and the Gamblers.
That was brutal...but accurate.
That early fumble cost the Panthers the game smfh 💯 this loss can cost you a spot in the north division championship game. Smfh
Damn you didn't show that sick hit by Tino Ellis that stopped a touchdown in the first at 7:10 mins in
That defense Tho😂😭
That standing room only crowd .... Wow.
Gamblers defense looks dominant
ok level with me, at 4:09 or at 2:52 or 12:25 why are people not saying that play was rigged, why is every time I talk about this on my channel people always keeps talking about NFL rigged, what about XFL and the USFL, some of these plays' might be rigged, why is no one paying any attention to this, and I'm the only one talking about this topic?
I miss that NBC scoreboard graphic rn
Thee constant high pitch buzzing of that drone camera is intolerable
i can't believe they will be playing the whole season in an outdoor stadium in the Alabama heat .
If the panthers keep playin this I’m only gonna root for the breakers going forward
that patterson to scarlett connection could be something if cleaned up after this week that could be a scary running game for the panthers.....one thing i dont like about the new USFL we dont need 57 players miced up that is too much
IDC if that last play counted or not, he absolutely mossed TF outta those dudes 😳
This works for me. Screw the NFL.
how was that not a safety? 3:57
these guys should just hire me as their kicker lol. sheeesh.
You'd think they would've tried harder to get it so teams could play in their actual cities?
This game looks harder for QBs and RBs than in the NFL.
Also, Deestroying needs to join this league. The kickers are pretty bad it seems.
NBC going with Cris Collinsworth's son on the play-by-play.
Paxton Lynch one of the biggest busts ever
I think Jerry Jones wanted to draft him
@@Jv19979 makes sense lmfao
As a formal football player I would of been bored feel like a scrimmage game
That was a catch!!!
Only one foot in. Though I'm not sure if usfl requires both feet be in bounce to count?
4:00 how isn't that a safety?
I love this new league 💀😭
Basketball got NBA G League
Football got USFL💪
USFL Is near NFL Level it is so much fun to watch
@@d436b12 u damn right
Hearing Jason Garrett in the booth feels real strange
I am entertained
Paxton lynch getting benched in the USLF 😂😂
As a Dallas cowboys fan I need someone to cheer for in Texas😢
Not bad for second rated league it football atleast
Damn 94 on gamblers DLine was murked on that last highlight
When the Cheerleaders outnumber the paid attendance ...
Having an Alabama-based team play a home game on Easter Sunday will do that
I'm getting sick of these new football leagues shutting down after one season. Please keep this and every other football league we can get. Let's get a real blitz the league started.
what is this league ? like how do u get in this league ?
Y'all niggas talking about not having people in the stands, Where TF Were You.
Good ending to the game for sure!
each of these games individually prolly got more viewers than the entirety of the wnba ever.
Why did take Patterson out
No fans? No home games? This league folds like the rest.......................💥
give this 2 years and it will be good foresee a merger with the xfl and playing a championship game with the cfl
