It will give it time once they make a deal to be minor NFL and share players.

I dont think its si much tha te St. Louis doesnt/didnt appreciate football, although it is clearly a baseball and hockey town, sports fans in St. Louid loathe the glut that accompanies the NFL

@@Indigenous267 STL just loves sports. New MLS team sold out already home games until May. Ticket prices 3-5x any other mls tickets. Same with XFL. They love sports not just hockey and baseball

Damn right I was there

I’m from STL, was at the game, there was so many beer cans and drunk people going into the arena it was fun!! Awesome to have football back!!

They definitely have a bunch of options. Off the top of my head: Portland, Salt Lake City, Baton Rouge, San Diego or San Jose, Fort Worth or El Paso (maybe move Houston there), Milwaukee, Birmingham, OKC or Tulsa, maybe somewhere in Connecticut or NJ if NY isn't an option, Louisville or Lexington, Virginia Beach/Chesapeake/Norfolk, etc

​@@haphaxion San Diego would be a great one, people forget that they supported the chargers pretty well until they moved to LA

@@haphaxion San Diego deserves another pro football team. The chargers just up and left and are lucky to sell enough tickets for their remaining fans but even Rams and Chargers home games are always full of opposing fans

​@@haphaxion Baton Rouge would be huge, there's nothing to do there otherwise and you'd prob get folk driving in from all over the state at least

@@haphaxion I actually like the Portland, Salt lake city, San Deigo, Milwaukee(a city wanting a football team for awhile now), Baton Rouge, Tuscalousa(Bama fans are intense so why not capitalize), Lakewood(fastest growing city in Jersey) Virgina Beach options First off it gives natural North(St Louis, Seattle, Portland, Milwaukee) East(DC, Orlando, Lakewood, Virgina Beach) West(San Deigo, Vegas, Salt Lake, San Antonio) and South(Baton Rouge, Tuscalousa, Huston and Arlington) divisions Second off they are all either growing cities or cities that have had major sports before, and with a strong fanbase. Third off it helps prevent what we are probably going to be in(could be fixxed by a playoff restructure): Where a Southern team is getting in with a worse record than a Northern team(Probably a Arlington(Ending probs 6-4 or 5-5) over a Seattle( ending probably 7-3 or 8-2))

They originally had 30,000 tickets up for sale but they sold out quickly. So, they kept adding more.

Wait a minute this is soccer stadium?

@@AdderTude Yes, on the local news last night the attendance wa 38,300 but they were not opening up all 67,000 seats for selling. I heard someone comment they should open up all the Dome and do not know why they would not do so.. They talked about how it was making buying tickets difficult but then they did open up more seats. I guess they were really surpirsed how many in St. Louis support football and the Battle Hawks.

38,310 was the official number 🙌🏻

Not bad

Yes 38,000+ in attendance! I was there!

38,310.. I was there.. unbelievable fan base… even the tailgate was lit.. I’m so happy to be a Battle Hawk.. KA-KAW!!!

It would have been full if allowed

Having been spurned twice with teams moving out of stl in my lifetime, I’m good without the NFL. I’ll root on my battlehawks though!

@@jots083 It would take an exceptional owner like those of Enterprise for the new soccer team. I do understand your comment though after Kroenke and learning all about his indemnification agreement convincing NFL owners he would cover their St. Louis lawsuit damages, which showed their guilt. That agreement was not what they expected. for personal coverage. I guess they failed to read the fine print. At least the lawsuit clarified things. Now the Cardinals were different because STL City and County fought over a new stadium site resulting in no football only stadium. . I am so happy with the Battle Hawks!

NFL too busy trying to swoon a nonexistent LA fanbase.

​@@larryloveless2967 and Roger Goodell went right along with it.

We are a bad football town. Give it a few years

Well, thankfully the Maulers have a new head coach now.

Something you’d never see an NFL vet do 😂

@@dongo6988 except that one time Aaron Rodgers lowered his shoulder for a block last season, I was honestly surprised to see that haha

@@deadlimerence he’s a goat though 😂 he’s an exception

@@dongo6988 rarely does happen unless, you count Josh Allen bulldozing over some CB lol

He is playing really well. Likely better than all the STL Rams quarterbacks that followed Kurt Warner. Marc Bulger started pretty good but then became shell shocked from a poor offensive line.

no pls no, we dont want xfl to become wwe again. it should be more like nfl.

@@inactiveeagle04 Oh, don’t worry. That was Vince McMahon pushing two sports brands at once and doing anything to make his old league watchable. Suffice to say that in The Rock’s hands, we likely won’t see that again. Like I said, we will NEVER see those old school kinds of nicknames again, but if you had the right governance around it, it could help a player develop a recognizable identity for both themselves and the XFL. I like the direction the league is currently going in, and allowing players to give the crowd a name to keep an eye out for could even shine a light on less appreciated positions on the field. Bottom line, there would have to be some HEAVY rules on what a player can and can’t name themselves, but it wouldn’t and SHOULDN’T become a character or a gimmick for them. But the nicknames on the jerseys was a cool and unique touch from the original league that could easily work in the new league.

Also the new punt rule. Gunners can't take off until the ball's in the air.

Without making it uninteresting

It was LOUD here in the BATTLEDOME. Felt sorry for him.

A QB is only as good as the line in front of him.

Reminds me of another Kyle from Denver back in the day. Not sure about him although his receivers didn't help him at all

apparently he was in the league before and it didn’t work out for some reason

Maybe more than 38,000?!

Bill Bidwell effed STL, Georgia Frontiere effed LA. Never forget that.

@@juicyfartsofjimcornette1154 But the NFL had veto power and we can add Ersay and his midnight move to the mix.

@@chasjacks9378 - Nevertheless, the Rams were NOT your team! And Cleveland abandoned them for the original Browns in 1946. They are L.A.'s team now. The Cardinals were your team after disgruntled Chicago Cardinal fans became Bear fans. Be grateful that Arizona has a World Series (and some Arena Bowls for whatever that's worth) in their cases. I'd rather see the BattleHawks become an NFL team and win a Lombardi before the traitors from Arizona get one first!

@Juicy Farts of Jim Cornette Thanks but I don't need a history lesson on the Chicago Cardinals and their travels.

We didn’t when the rams were bad

i understand you like usfl, the only problem is most of the teams play in cities unrelated to their home city (houston gamblers, new orleans breakers, pittsburgh maulers, philadelphia stars, new jersey generals. etc) with the exception of a few teams, (Birmingham Stallions, Memphis Showboats, Michigan Panthers.)

From the people that were there, the final attendance count was around 38,310.
