As we are thinking about selling tickets maybe we need to think also about selling tickets and widening the brand and fanbase. I love this league. I love everything it represents. The second chance, salaries like the rest of us, football for football’s sake. Part of me loves this league and would not change it for anything. IF it became a money maker it may change something that is so perfect. That stated there is a great effort to help make the game gain traction in popularity. I have often stated that the league will have to invest to make the league more successful. It needs to be researched whether it makes sense to add teams in California (such as San Diego & Oakland) and New Jersey to get the New York fanbase without actually getting into New York. This would likely add viewership to almost around 1/3 of the country that isn’t there today. I have a VERY easy change that I think would pick up about twice the amount of fans there are today and it is VERY simple and INEXPENSIVE. Viewers are silly. The commercials on television. The things people believe. I see the beauty of the 1pt, 2pt & 3pt plays. However, this leads to scores like 18-12. People that are trying to watch football are looking for reasons to write it off, first, before they even watch a half of football. When people see a score of 18-12, they scoff. In America we have been built to look for scores 10-7. 17-14. To see 18-12, it does not pass the sniff test, even though the audience didn’t sniff too hard to actually find the ingredients behind the aroma. Additionally, It’s hard to find people who will cover a sport they think is fake, uncool or not going to hold and end up being a waste of their time. I think that is incredulous, because the NFL can at times be incredulous and that is covered. So when people see 18-12, the first thing they feel is that is is not the NFL…..Not even close. But it is close. Great football is played in the UFL. One of the reasons people are not watching is the numbers in the score. I know there is more action in the UFL’s extra point plays, more strategy. I suggest you to discuss whether the league should add a 1 point kick as the NFL does. From the 2, you can have a 2 point play from scrimmage and from the 7 a 3 point play. Then as a fan I could ask a bar to turn on the UFL game and when a person sits down next to me, they see 7-7 and feel like it is football
instead of me having to explain why the score is 18-12 and how we lost that possible fan before he even watched five minutes of the game.
I understand the league wants to differentiate themselves from the NFL, but this might be hurting the UFL in this case. Two other reasons why the change won’t be so outlandish. You score a touchdown and like the OG Fantasy Island “smiles everybody smiles”, but in the UFL when a touchdown is not followed up with a successful extra point there is a little less celebration. Another thing, if the kick is missed you go from happy, happy to drama. Yes this is a major problem, because now you are going to have to try a 2 point play, when the other team can simply kick an extra point on the next touchdown. The point is that there are options and drama and celebrations as the kicks are almost always successful. IF you do this and the league becomes successful and profitable, you can send out a questionnaire to the fans and see which ones want to bring back the UFL choice. This will make the fans feel like part of the league and they will already be your fans. At this time, I think the XP kick and 7 points just makes it more familiar to prospective fans looking for a way to recognize it as football.
