>> BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Next week, the Birmingham City Council and the Jefferson County Commission will both vote on committing $500,000 each to help bring USFL games to Protective Stadium. Fox Sports is looking to bring back all the old USFL teams and play them at one site starting next spring.

WBRC reported earlier that Fox Sports will be financially backing the USFL, but they wanted some of the operational expenses such as security and other steps to puy on the games covered by local money. In a Memorandum of Understanding, Fox Sports originally wanted $3.7 million for operational costs. Last week, the Greater Birmingham Visitors and Convention Bureau committed to putting up two million dollars, but after further negotiations, Birmingham and Jefferson County agreed to a half million dollars each.<<
