Looks like about the same crowd size for the stars/breakers game.

Paxton Lynch playing like the NFL bust that he is. Thank goodness Jerry Jones was talked out of drafting him and instead ended up with Zach Martin.

Weren't the same draft, Martin was in 2014. Cowboys picked Jaylon Smith next, and then ultimately Dak

That's right, Jerry wanted Manziel but was talked out of it and took Martin that year.

I’m happy to see Matt Colburn get the opportunity to hit the field for Philadelphia . He never did get a good chance with the Guardians, being a healthy scratch most games, then the pandemic… https://xflboard.com/news/matthew-colbu ... guardians/

It does, only much nicer weather for this game. 1000 spectators a game for non Stallions games is looking awful generous at this point. I’m interested to see if Stallions crowds hold up.

Surely they have not budgeted for much gate revenue with this hub model. I expect ratings in the next few weeks are much more important. Merchandise? I wonder how that is going.

Rumor on twitter right now that attendance for the third game is expected to be anywhere from 3-5k. Just rumor, but who knows.

I would not be surprised if they expected this type of attendance.

Not ideal, but not bad. 7:00 local (now 8) start was pushing it. With all three days in use next week that problem will be lessened, this tripleheader being a one-time deal

Penalties killed the Breakers in that Stars TD drive.
