Of the sections available of for the Birm game - looks like they are pretty well sold.  Still some corner section seats but they're going.

Also looks like Adiran Martinez gets the start in week 3 for Holtz's Offense.

>>  Quarterback Adrian Martinez is preparing for the Birmingham Stallions’ 2024 home opener on Saturday. It’s not what he thought he’d be doing when he envisioned his football career.“The journey has been up and down,” Martinez said.

“That’s been the story of my football career. Shoot, it’s been the story of my life so far, and, honestly, I’m thankful for it." <<

Stallions players and coaches received their USFL 2023 Championship rings last night. Has anyone heard if/when the Renegades "get" anything like that for winning the XFL Championship?

Looks like Birmingham opened a few more sections at $10 in the end zones today - should be a decent attendance today

Oddly they appear to have Raised the price for certain tickets along the sideline near the endzone.

The crowd seems decent. Not St. Louis level, but not bad.

We temporarily interrupt your schedule of close games for tonight's blowout

Probably not a 42-2 repeat but it won't be pretty

I know Skip has said he has two starters at QB, but still an interesting decision to basically "bench" Corral after starting out 2-0.
