Sounds like the 20K in San Diego was the number of tickets distributed (not sold, mind you).

The TNT number for a Saturday afternoon is pretty good.

The league got hammered a bit by competition Saturday and Sunday night on NFL Network. In the sports ratings landscape. A 0.2 rating is ok, not great for prime time games but it’s acceptable.

It's funny how people think that the AAF getting good ratings will help their league. You can get 10 million to watch your game but if CBS and TNT won't pay them, then it means nothing...

But it will help them in future TV deals.

True, but not making money in year one puts you behind the 8-ball. It'll be interesting to see the details on the XFL's TV deal. If they make around what the MLS is making (75 mil), then that will be a huge step on the AAF. Also having ESPN and Fox talk about the XFL while ignoring the AAF will be pretty nice too.

That's one thing I will be interested in the TV contract. Will they have it where they can't talk about the AAF. tbh I doubt it as I dont think the XFL is in that much of a position to do so.
