FS2 has the game since 4pm

 

OK, it finally showed up.

Fans in Detroit appear to have turned out in much stronger numbers than I had feared given the ticket sales delays.

Sucks tho cus Ford Field is so big 

The good news is that Ford Field appears to have turned off/down the lights on the upper decks so you can't really see them.

Awesome that Kugler did that game in 2013 where Jake Butt caught his first TD pass w Gardner the QB

And here they are...........................

One difference from XFL last year in watching on TV was it felt like they had way fewer commercial breaks and commercials during those breaks. The ad breaks this year feel like they take forever in comparison.

I am sure the attendance of this game is quite low considering how they handled ticket sales. However, I would love it if the television numbers are up.

I can tell you the web site traffic is very strong, and probably double the numbers in  the XFL opening day in 2023 and close to the numbers in the XFL open in 2020.

Meaning the UFLBoard traffic I assume?  That's great!

No play clock on the screen in this game makes it a little difficult as a viewer.
