I live in Omaha and the UFL Nighthawks got their season abruptly ended. I believe Mark Cuban is involved with UFL and was trying to push it as a replacement if NFL went on strike. New practice facilities, etc.

It is a shame as this provides affordable family entertainment. I think season tickets initially were $10 a game and Nebraskans supported this team with the highest average attendance which brought the championship game to Omaha their first year as a member, over 20,000 attendees.

I think that they will eventually get compensated. their problem was in some of the bigger cities and areas, they couldn’t draw the crowds and teams dropped out leaving fewer teams to schedule

I heard that they had plans for other smaller markets like Omaha, like Des Moines, etc

It was an option. Omaha also has arena football that is well supported.

They just had to keep the schedules away from Nebraska home games (50 years of homes sellouts for the Huskers).

They have indicated that they were going to try again next year with earlier scheduling???

If they can key their market they may be able to succeed.

Maybe Mark Cuban will pay off the teams for this year.

HA that’s sad but still funny. Yeah I’ve been there, and I know the feeling, deadbeat employers SUCK! But that’s the price you pay for living in a country that has poor leaders that don’t know how to get the job done.
