Nice crowd in St Louis, NY and McGloin stink
Just shy of 30,000 for the Battlehawk game today. Next week is practically sold out as well. They're discussing opening up the upper level for the third home game, though that seems unlikely to me. Still a good sign!
It was nice tailgating for football again. There were Kroenke pinatas getting blasted. Fun day
CFL is definitely the number 2 football league in terms of talent, and probably not all that close to XFL, which is 3.Crazy to me how watching these games I keep recognizing names of guys who attended camp but failed to make the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, or were late season adds to PR but never retained. A couple like L'Damien Washington managed to get into a few games with Bombers but couldnt stick (Washington in particular had the problem of being a receiver who struggled to catch the ball).
I'm enjoying having football to watch at this time of year still though.
Nice to see football in St.Louis again.. Great to see them embrace their XFL team.
yeah, St Louis is having a good fan turnout. Conversely, the NY crowd looked non-existent yesterday.. honestly looked like a Redskins crowd. I noticed it was all tight shots for the NY game. Even on punts, camera wasn't following the ball's vertical path. I assume to cloak an empty stadium from viewers @ home. I wouldn't expect NYC to desire another pro team tho. I wonder if they looked into smaller (but still significant) NY markets (like Rochester)?
