The start-up, alternative professional football league using the old name of the USFL has opened up ticket sales recently.
True Gamblers fans are going to want to get in on the “Touchdown 10 Pack”, essentially the equivalent of season tickets. With prices ranging anywhere from $106.75 to $395.45 per ticket, Houston fans can buy the opportunity to travel to Birmingham Alabama, only a 10 hour and 4 minute drive from NRG Parkway, to see the new incarnation of the Houston Gamblers play their “home” games starting next month.
New USFL inaugural schedule:
4/16 Houston Gamblers AT the Michigan Panthers, in Birmingham
4/23 Birmingham Stallions AT Houston Gamblers, in Birmingham
5/1 Tampa Bay Bandits AT Houston Gamblers, in Birmingham
5/7 Houston Gamblers AT New Orleans Breakers, in Birmingham
5/15 Pittsburgh Maulers AT Houston Gamblers, in Birmingham
5/21 Houston Gamblers AT New Jersey Generals, in Birmingham

6/3 Houston Gamblers AT Tampa Bay Bandits, in Birmingham
6/11 Houston Gamblers AT Birmingham Stallions, in Birmingham
6/19 New Orleans Breakers AT Houston Gamblers, in Birmingham
Yes, you caught that right, Houston is playing a home game in Birmingham against the team that actually calls Birmingham home on 4/23.
