OT: Can the Houston Roughnecks Survive?

1,000 is a pretty good guess.

UH could copy one of the Roughnecks’ promotions. I like $6 beers in the 1st quarter. Another Roughneck promotion is the “Guaranteed Win”. If the Roughnecks don’t win, tickets to the next home game are free.

100%

Saturday’s game was uncomfortable with the blazing sun. People were sitting in the last 4-5 rows of the lower deck to find shade. That had to make things on TV look really bad. Look, football is a cold-weather sport. Playing games in mid-May into June can be unbearable. I agree that the season should start in February.

The UFL wouldn’t have to worry about cold weather for the northern cities. Michigan and St. Louis play in domes.

Move to a smaller venue - adjust the dates - I wouldn’t mind summer evenings when the competition is less for eyeballs

We’re already oversaturated with football until late may so a brief 2-3 months season which ends before training camp keeps the palette wet but not overdoing it
