if you watched the game in the 1st half,you would have seen the stallions commot stupid penality,after stupid prnality, that got them behind in the first place
We’ve had record breaking numbers this year, helps that we’re on the big networks and that 80% of these games are on networks that don’t even require cable. Hope we can see some more primetime games next season and just hype up these matchups even more
As a birmingham stallions fan, that game was crazy, but both teams playing a great game. Respect to the Michigan Panthers a great team they have. Next week is going to be a good one.
@@PIP-zf9ybmarketing has been an issue all season not just for us but for all teams except St Louis. Don’t think they were able to really address that aspect because of the merger. I know we should have more since we’re two time champs but it’s still a brand new league and we have to prove that we’re here long term considering all the defunct spring teams that Birmingham has had over the years. So in my book, anytime we hit 10K it’s a win but of course we want more. It’ll get better with time, the league just needs to do more in the offseason and make it known that these teams play each weekend through billboards, promotions, etc.
@@DDDiegoagreed. i’ve been to games every season we’ve been back and the best attendance for me was opening day vs new jersey. I was really hoping that would set the standard. but like you said i totally get why fans are hesitant to go. we were back to back champs only to find out the leagues were merging and we had to wait and find out who was in. I think it’s the same reason memphis has low attendance most of the time. They have been burned by spring leagues time and time again.
@@PIP-zf9yb Birmingham, Memphis, St. louis, and San antonio are the markets without NFL teams and of the group, StL had the rams, Memphis had the titans for one season in 97, San Antonio hosted the Saints for a season in 2005. Bham and memphis have been burned more than SA. SA has had 3 spring teams but really the Brahmas to me is the only one that will last more than one year. They still hosted the spurs for like 10 years tho. Memphis had the Oilers for a season but has had 6 teams mostly all playing for one season dating back to 1974. Bham has had 9 dating back to 1974 with this current version of the stallions being the longest running team and most successful and it’s only been almost 3 full seasons. Give it time! These leagues and teams have to find success for fans to turn out.
Yeah this didn't age well 31 t 18, This is the stallions stadium you learned that the hard way stallions took that trophy from the cubbs giddy up stallions 🐎🐎🐎
@@MARTINS-eq2rvit was ridiculously loud at time, especially on the panthers final drive. When they had the drive with all the false starts and holding that has to have been due to the crowd being so loud. I didn’t expect that from a game that ultimately didn’t matter due to us already winning the division
Hard fought gritty comeback by Birmingham. Michigan was in control til the very end. It is wild how much success the Panthers have had with this platoon system. Platooning usually is disastrous. But it has worked to this point. Hell I think I saw Bobby Hebert playing for the Panthers this year😂. Old time USFL fans should get the punch line
The run play at the end with 10 seconds and a timeout is confusing. They were passing well should have done another 10-15 yarder and hit the timeout with 1-2 seconds left.
Stallions have a chance at winning a 3 peat championship . Yet attendance in Birmingham is getting lower . WTH is going on.? How long can this league keep going without fans in the stands ?
We’ll be fine. I know it’s concerning right now but it’s gonna get better with time, just gotta trust the process. The league needs to focus on establishing themselves as a whole and get on marketing throughout the offseason
Louisville Stallions -makes sense , time to give other cities a chance at spring ball. Birmingham doesn’t care this team is one of the best in modern day spring football and only 7k bother to show up. 🤣 I feel bad for the fans who actually do care for the team down there they are passionate but for the league to be taken seriously , they need to be drawing 15k a game by now easily. The league as a whole is doing a piss poor job of marketing. It’s like they’re putting zero effort. They are not going to survive if they keep down this road. StL alone can’t save this league.
@@Mike-aka747 One: The league is focused on tv money. Not the crowds. Money from crowds doesn't keep leagues and teams afloat anymore like in the old days. Two: Birmingham is not a very wealthy city overall. It has a Lot of poor people. And most of the people that have money live in the suburbs. If they were to drop ticket prices and let lower income people into the stadium the crowds might be a different story. But idk if that would even help because... Three: Birmingham is in the state of Alabama. And in this state we are college football mad. Especially for the Univ. of Alabama Crimson Tide. So a Lot of people don't care about pro sports here traditionally. Especially since we don't have any top tier pro sports teams. All minor league teams really. So most people are just waiting for the fall college football season to get here. Some of them probably don't even know Birmingham has a pro football team. 😂

Great game. I think next week will be better. Michigan has to be kicking themselves with all the penalties, but I also think Birmingham didn't show all their cards.
Wow, another good finale! Heartbreaking for the Panthers (all them penalties and the last-second missed FG). It's crazy that both these games will just repeat next week. Maybe with a different outcome....
UFL once again proving that they've forgotten all about that promise of old to not be a league of flags like the NFL. Apparently gotta make sure the winningest team in the league stays that way, huh? Farce.
All that work by Bates to build the hype throughout the season and he gets the opportunity for the perfect moment to beat Birmingham and he whiffs. I bet that stung
Football is a tough sell generally. You're asking someone to make a five or six hour commitment including commuting, parking, entering and exiting the stadium. People want to be entertained and 3 hours of subpar product just isn't worth it for most people. An NFL or D1 college football game is a happening. A UFL football game is just a football game.
This is a television league,what’s important are ratings.Networks are relying on sports programming to provide content in their desire to compete with streaming.I’m sure attendance provides better visuals but it isn’t the primary intent
Here in Birmingham we always show love to the stallions for some reason they have one side of the stadium closed before they did that we used to pack out the stallion games check old highlights bro‼️
for the most part attendence in every city,cept st.louis has been bad. i feel the whole merger was rushed and bungled so far as promoting is concerned. the league is going have to do a better job, at promoting and marketing teams in what ever cities they place teams, you can't just say here it is come watch. although attendence has been low,i think everyteam including the stallions have built a loyal fan base.it's just the first year what do you expect sold out stadiums every game, even the nfl doesent have that any more
What the heck were they looking at? The first TD extra “try”’was a catch. That’s ppl abusing the system there to make their job relevant. He fn had possession.
I love my Stallions, but we didn't beat Panthers. The Panthers beat the Panthers !!! Kinda reminding of my Niners in the playoffs last year against the Lions and Packers. Just happy we pulled it off
Cant wait for the Stallions to move to Seattle or Salt Lake City next year. Birmingham is careless about spring football. Give the team to a city that will support them.
@@tigerwareagle1485 Only because the league likely doesn't have enough money to do another team locale move, but if the UFL did, they'd definitely consider a location that would support them and be a stronger investment.
No relocations. No contraction. To increase attendance, the UFL needs to spend more on local marketing, local sponsorship, and local sales for each city with a team.
My Panthers penalties cost them the division title last year vs maulers. Today my Panthers themselves with penalties. Stalls did not win this game. My Panthers lost it. They will learn and clean it up. My Panthers have the D to win and are to good to get beat by the same team 3 x. My Panthers will be in the 2024 Championship.

Biggest fan base and homefield advantage. Weakness: mediocre defense, they play bad when McCarrin is out. 1. Birmingham Stallions. Strength: the most balanced overall team in the league. Best record Weakness: the refs if they make it to the championship.
Stallions going back to the championship & this time it wasn't a 1 pt win, have a good flight back to michigan in silence cubbs 😂 giddy up stallions 🐎🐎🐎
Stallions 24 many many many times just watching no action frozen in place instead of attacking the ball to make incompletions happen hit with intent to hurt nope 24 is watching the game instead of in the stands he has an on the field seat
5 penalties on a drive that would've sealed the game, is ridiculous & unacceptable smh
Unacceptable for the players committing the penalties or the referees for calling so many?

Yep was watching live and couldn't believe how the Panthers managed that, honestly impressive.

Good game Panthers. I had a feeling this would be close.
This was a good game
Not when you hold 6 times on 1st and goal
Let’s go UFL!
Shocking that Bates missed that field goal! That was his moment! Just whiffed it well wide. He has no trouble with height and distance
Not a great snap. Holder got it close to his body and couldn't place it cleanly.
I think he just over compensated for the wind since it was so windy
Every time Bates misses a kick he losses like 10 grand off what an NFL team is going to sign him for after the season
Yea he's starting to slip
Too much pressure. Getting too his head. Sadness. Pray he turns it around somehow.
As someone who went to this game, the energy was electric. Would’ve had no idea that this was a tune up “meaningless” game. Awesome fun!
Even with a small crowd....did it still get loud at times?

Sets up a good playoff matchup between 2 good teams.
Shades of Super Bowl XXV with this game, in more ways than one. XD Should be a fun rematch next week, though!
Awwww man...the most reliable 3 points in football missed one at the worst possible time.
That was so close. I thought it would be another upset for the Stallions, but it was WIDE RIGHT.

Congrats Stallions. On to the playoffs!
The run play at the end with 10 seconds and a timeout is confusing. They were passing well should have done another 10-15 yarder and hit the timeout with 1-2 seconds left.
I wonder if UFL is on Draft Kings 🤔 These Refs made some questionable calls in critical moments...
Yeah bro, if it’s a televised professional sport you can bet on it. Remember this is all entertainment unfortunately
Martinez has a nice cadence.
Lets do it again next week
I never saw so many calls on one drive. 😮😮😮😮😮 Mich was better team.
Jeez so many flags for the 1st & Goal.
