Game thread: Birmingham Stallions at Arlington Renegades, Sat Mar 30, 1:00 PM ET, FOX

Corral's ball placement has been there for the most part

I think we're gonna have a reversal here if they look at it, which would make 4/4 2 pointers

Needed time to adapt.

Renegades D looks like it's wearing down.

Going to be right up against it for the start of the next game. May be okay if they don't start til quarter after like this game did.

 

 

Given that they knew there would be pregame ceremonies, why only slot three hours? That is, unless they already anticipated things and decided that St. Louis-Michigan won't begin until Birmingham-Arlington ends.

I don’t think many had Arlington improving over last year so for all intensive purposes that’s a good sign. Is it an indication of UFL marketing or a championship bump tho?

[Ruthless Defender]

UFL picked the first game to be in a small market team's stadium (that had a losing record the previous year). Small market because they only averaged approximately 12,000 fans per game in the previous year, although they are in a large stadium.

Result: the stadium looks empty with scattered fans in the lower portion. It looks like the UFL is a small Nobody league that No one cares about, on national TV (FOX) during the first game of the league. The only fans that appear to care about the team are the visiting fans for the Stallions, wearing colors, makeup, and waving flags.

Poor decision making by the league (again). At least the UFL Championship game in St. Louis will be packed, hyped, and energetic. 

As fans we have to show up to the games, dress up for the games, and create hype for the games (Unlike the people in Arlington, TX) or we won't have a league.

This game is taking longer than intended. The other game has started.
