***2019 AAF season thread***

You have to wonder if playing in a huge stadium like Qualcomm makes sense too. 70,000 is a lot of seats to fill especially when they sold 20,000 tickets to last week's game. A smaller stadium that seats 30-40k would be ideal, no? Better to have a packed stadium than one that appears half-full.

Yes to all of this. Having been to games with 25K attendance in a stadium that seats 70K, it's tough to have a good atmosphere.

Although you can pretty much pick where you want to sit, there's never a line for the bathroom (or beer), and the tickets are generally pretty cheap anyway.

Salt Lake - Orlando on right now. Low scoring, but entertaining game. So weird to see Spurrier coaching in this league.

Dundon just blowing smoke here? Hard to believe he'd drop $250 million to buy into the league one month and then turn around and casually mention the possibility of closing up shop one month later.

A lot of times I have to intentionally take a $250M hit just for the tax write-off.

 

[Rabbuk]

That is an expensive game of chicken he is playing.

I think he’s trying to use it as a bargaining tool. He’s invested 70 mil so far, seems strange to do that and then just fold the league. With that being said, I think they can have success with the current model they are using. Taking guys who missed/fizzled out and the equivalents to AAAA players in baseball

Except AAA baseball has major league backing and have been around for years. It would be very expensive to start from nothing and keep it going. In football its not like you can go cheap on their equipment either.

Whelp, it was a good run, folks....

I am not sure how they ever thought this was going to fly. I tuned in for approximately 10mins of 1 game. Just couldn't do it.

That is why he is a wicked good business man. He basically bought the app which could be worth Billions. Facebook put on offer on the snapchat app after like 5 months in service for 3 billion dollars and the Snap chat folks said no. If this guy knows the technology is worth it, He could have just bought the league for the app and made the 70 million dollars everone thinks he wasted worth billions. Then again it would be pretty ****** for a guy to mess with that many peoples jobs just for one app.

Next in line is the XFL 2.0

Let's see what you got, McMahon.

How deep are those pockets?
