Looks like we're gonna have a pro football first: Go for two down 11 to get to a one-score game

That could have happened in the XFL, no?

Could have, but I don't remember it actually happening. In XFL 1.0 the Rage did it, but they were already within one score

Keep feeding the ball to Stevie Scott. Loved watching him at IU.

The attendance at the game is a yikes.

Easter Sunday was always a concern, Fri/Sat would have been better from that standpoint but I understand why they went with it.

Add missed field goals to the list. The more reason to have more 4th down attempts

I'm not surprised at all. You figure it being a holiday, no Stallions at all any time today, having to buy a ticket to all three games to get into any one at the same price as a Stallions ticket... (granted those are bargain-basement prices to begin with so it's basically papering anyway)... attendance was always going to be poo.

Apparently 40,000 tickets were sold and 17,500 showed up last night (though by the looks of the crowds that number might be a lowball).

If it was, then nobody told the NBA and MLB that because I am seeing a full capacity crowd for Hawks vs. Heat and some really good crowds for a few of the baseball games today.

At least the sun has come out. Hopefully the next two games will be a bit better. I think they're really going to live and die by the weather, especially when the Stallions aren't playing.
