>> BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - The defending USFL champions are once again in the Playoffs as Birmingham will host the South Division Championship on Sunday, June 25, inside Protective Stadium.

To help pack Protective Stadium, WBRC FOX6 News and the USFL have partnered to offer fans a chance to get discounted tickets to the game.

“Anything can happen in the Playoffs,” Stallions Head Coach Skip Holtz said on Good Day Alabama Monday. “We’re going to play New Orleans for a third time. It’s the first time in like 38 years that there has been a playoff game here in Birmingham since the original USFL. So, we’re really excited for the opportunity to host it.” <<

FYI - WBRC FOX6 is an affiliate only, not owned by FOX. Great move hopefully it helps get more fans to the game.

Um, really? affiliates owned by networks? Gee is that in response to somebody's post about your buddies at The Daily Murdoch?

The fact that many affiliates' parent companies also own affiliates of, get this, other networks might put an end to that, but hey, you do you.

I hope they get decent crowds, we need one of these two leagues to survive.

Agreed on survival
- fans would be but good ratings would be far nicer.
