If you’ve been keeping track at home, the brand new USFL is set to launch this Saturday in the hopes of bringing a successful spring football league. Over the past few years, the Alliance of American Football and XFL v2.0 have both come and gone, but the folks behind USFL v2.0 are hoping that the third time is the charm.
Even though all of the teams, at least nominally, represent different parts of the country, all of the games will be taking place in Birmingham, Alabama, in two different stadiums. One will be at Legion Field, a venue that seats over 70,000 for football games, while the other will be at Protective Stadium, which is the current home stadium for the University of Alabama-Birmingham and is significantly smaller with a max capacity of around 47,000.
