UFL expansion projection

I wouldn't go to cities that already have a NFL team.

I'm betting the Seattle Sea Dragons would be the first team brought back.

United Football League 1. LA Express - SoFi Stadium 2. LA Wildcats - Los Angeles Coliseum 3. Chicago Enforcers - New Bears Stadium 4. New England Force - Patriots Stadium 5. Miami Maniax - Hard Rock Stadium 6. Baltimore Blitz - M&T Bank Stadium 7. Denver Gold Diggers - Empower Field at Mile High 8. TB Bandits - Raymond James Stadium 9. Dallas Gunslingers - AT&T Stadium 10. Houston Gamblers - NRG Stadium 11. Jacksonville Black Bulls - New Jaguars Dome 12. SF Demons - 49ers Stadium 13. SD Xtreme - Snapdragon Stadium 14. Seattle Sea Dragons - Lumen Field 15. Arizona Hotshots - State Farm Stadium 16. Pittsburgh Maulers - Acrisure Arena (Steelers Stadium) 17. Philadelphia Stars - Eagles Field 18. NJ Generals - MetLife Stadium 19. New Orleans Breakers - Caesars Superdome 20. Orlando Guardians - Camping World Stadium 21. Vegas Vipers - Allegiant Arena (LV Raiders Stadium) 22. Kansas City Rage - Arrowhead Arena (Chiefs Stadium) 23. NY Hitmen - West Side Stadium

They cut actual USFL franchises with history to make this merger. Those teams need to be brought back first.

San Diego = The Fleet

This one of the best UFL expansion videos I’ve seen. I would like to see the UFL go into those Non-NFL markets like Omaha,OKC,Louisville and San Diego fast. Especially OKC and Omaha since they’re not far from the Dallas Hub.

I do hope the UFL will be a permanent fixture and will partner up with the NFL. I would like to see what FOX and the USFL were trying to do and bring back all the former USFL teams. I know it will probably take up to 10-15 years with future expansion. Well, this is what I wish the UFL would eventually be like with a league of 28 teams. Once again there would be 2 Conferences, the USFL conference and the XFL conference. Each conference would have 14 teams in them with 2 divisions (with 7 teams in them). The USFL conferences 2 divisions would be the North and South divisions. The North division would consist of the Chicago Blitz, Denver Gold, Hartford Federals (formerly the Washington Federals), Michigan Panthers, New Jersey Generals, Philadelphia Stars, and the Pittsburgh Maulers. The south division would be the Austin Gamblers (formerly the Houston Gamblers), Birmingham Stallions, Jacksonville Bulls, Memphis Showboats, New Orleans Breakers, Orlando Warriors (formerly the Orlando Renegades), and the Tampa Bay Bandits. The XFL conference would have the East and West divisions. The East division would consist of the Arlington Renegades, DC Defenders, Houston Roughnecks, Ohio Guardians (formerly the Orlando Guardians, and yes they play in Canton Ohio), Oklahoma Outlaws, San Antonio Brahmas, and the St. Louis Battlehawks. The West division would consist of the Arizona Wranglers, Los Angeles Express, Portland Vipers (formerly the Vegas Vipers), Salt Lake City Gunslingers (formerly the San Antonio Gunslingers), San Diego Wildcats (formerly the LA Wildcats), Seattle Sea Dragons and the Oakland Invaders (it would probably be San Jose or Sacramento, Northern California for sure for the Invaders since the stadium in Oakland is in dire need of repairs). I know there will be people saying the San Diego team should be the Fleet but that was an AAF team (and the UFL does not have the rights to them) and besides the USFL/XFL would rather bring back the Express and Wildcats. The regular season would be a 13-game season

The Salt Lake City Polygamists, is my recommendation

I think 2 teams a year would ideal and at some point there would have to be a cut off point earlier than later. Wouldn't want the game to suffer to much do to a lack of talent. However, I'm curious... Do you think it would take that long to expand out west and into Florida ?

What about the Utah Roadrunners? In very loose reference to the racing scene on the salt flats near the Great Salt Lake, as well as to the Road Runner from the Looney Tunes series.

I would like the UFL to acquire the teams from the AAF and the original UFL. So Maybe teams like Omaha Nighthawks, Atlanta Legends, San Diego Fleet, Orlando Apollos, Salt Lake Stallions, Arizona Hotshots, etc. Make it like a true collection of the spring leagues.

For me personally, outside of the obvious Seattle Dragons (cut the Sea part out lol) and San Diego being a potential St. Louis of the west coast, I’d want to see an expansion team in Mexico, Canada, and possibly Puerto Rico. I think going international would be a great way to open new markets and revenue streams on tv rights that can take advantage of the work that the NFL has already done while also doing something that even the NFL isn’t doing with an international team.

(SACK)ramento needs one because the word there in parenthesis is a football stat

Great Throwback Music! Theme from "This is the USFL"! One of the only BASIC programs I wrote on my TI99/4A was that which would play this theme song!

The only issue I have with this is that with a league bigger than 20 teams, you'll have to run about 16-18 games, which can run you right smack dab into scheduling conflicts with the NFL. For me, ideally, the UFL can have a maximum of 20 teams, and can run a 14 game schedule. This gives you time for playoffs, and, more importantly, time to breathe between leagues. If what they're saying is true and they'll slowly revive brands in the next couple years, here's how I'd expand the league to 20: 2025: NJ Generals & NY Guardians (both in Metlife or Red Bull Arena); Philadelphia Stars, Seattle Dragons 2026: Portland Breakers, San Diego Tomcats, Chicago Enforcers/Cyclones, Orlando Pioneers/Cougars 2030s-ish: Columbus Cardinals, San Jose Grizzlies, Milwaukee Hogs, Oklahoma City Drillers

I really dislike people that propose expansion teams without taking into consideration logistics, costs, and considerations on whether there is sufficient interest for a sub-NFL team. Will the Chicago Blitz actually have an affordable venue and fans willing to root for someone other than the Bears? BTW, Allegiant will not host a non-Raiders team, nor can any team use Sam Boyd Stadium for football due to contractual arrangements WITH Allegiant. It's why the Vipers ended up in the parking lot that was Cashman.

The only issue I have is that the talent pool isnt deep enough to accommodate all of these teams.

Seattle needs to be brought back immediately imo

Des Moines should get an UFL team. The Iowa Superhogs would be a cool nickname.

i would call Salt Lake -Lake monster's
