Looks like Omaha will...

[nolehusker]

Be getting a UFL team

New sport for new stadium? - Omaha.com

Looks like a lot of people don't want it.

 

[iruletheskool]

I don't see the appeal.

 

[IamKEIL]

the park was built as a baseball stadium first. The seating would be really awkward.

 

[AHFox]

Hey its football. Football is king in Nebraska and I think going to a UFL game would be some fun.

 

[landon410]

i heard a lot about this a while ago then NOTHING

i'd like it to come, i'd love to go to "semi pro" football
and i wouldnt worry too much about the seating being weird, this league averaged WEAK attendance last season, so its not like you need 10,000 seats or anything

 

[landon410]

plus i think they try to keep the player "regional" as in where they played

we could get former huskers, and other big 12 north guys, and eastern half big 10 guys

it sounds interesting to me

Everytime this is brought up I laugh everytime.

It is not coming to Omaha. Is by some freak chance it does, it will NOT work here.

When are they going to play? Friday? People are at high school football games. Saturday? People are at Lincoln, UNO games, or their couch watching more important games. Sunday? Why would you watch semi pro players when you can watch real pro players? Weeknights? Not a chance.

IT WILL NOT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[landon410]

i have NEVER gone to a high school game in omaha

and i would MUCH RATHER watch pros, former pros or former college stars then some want to be gang banger high school kids

You go to high school football games?

 

[nolehusker]

Actually, I think if they had it on Friday nights it would work out the best for them. Once the game is over you can hit up downtown for a few more drinks.

 

[landon410]

i think it would be great

you'd get guys like cortney grixby ohanlon etc

and i would go watch them

 

[iruletheskool]

Don't count O'Hanlon out of the NFL landon.. and I would not pay to watch Grixby (insert rant here).....

 

[landon410]

i would bet grixby is the greatest athlete youve ever watched play football (minus nfl)

according to prince, grixby is the best athlete he has ever personally played with
dont try to get high and mighty, you would be excitd to go watch a semi pro team in omaha if it had former huskers on it

 

[iruletheskool]

I would watch, just not for grixby.. he couldn't cover anybody.

 

[jedburks]

You go to high school football games?

I will go to a couple every year. I will probably go to more next year.

 

[landon410]

youre clueless

grixby was made to cover the best WRs in the country, and they were almost always 8 inches taller then him

talk to the coaches, they will tel you something other then "he couldnt cover anybody"

 

[iruletheskool]

Let me rephrase. He couldn't cover anybody for a whole game.
