| I'll watch if it is televised.
The first professional football game I ever attended was a Memphis Showboats game back in the mid 80s.

| Bout damn time we got some decent pointy ball in this town... Ducks are nice but it can take nearly three hours to get from portland to eugene on game day.
I don't know where they would plan on playing though, jeld wen field is smack in the middle of downtown and seats 20,000 with plenty of accommodations for wealthier ticket holders, but the timbers would surely draw more than a usfl franchise, and soccer clubs do not like to share the pitch with football teams. | |

| Impossible. I was just informed this week on VN that the end of football altogether is just around the corner. | |

| No, football as we know it is still going to die a long painful death. | |

| My bad. Jeld wen field (something like the stadiums fourth name) is a bazillion year old (1920s iirc) multi use stadium in downtown portland. It's been home to the portland timbers, portland state vikings and the myriad of minor league teams in portland throughout the years | |

| I love me some spring football. I was just a kid so I barely remember the USFL, but I have fond memories of WLAF/NFL Europe and I even liked the XFL for the most part. I was actually upset a bit when the AAFL never got off the ground. I wish the UFL would get going but it actually seems to be going backwards.
Slap the USFL on the NBCSN.

I don't see many people investing in this.
The NFL already has a developmental league, college football. | |
