mmmtodd Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Wierd Herald Story The UFL is moving a franchise to Omaha, as early as this year. Likely play at TD Ameritrade 2011 season. Not much chatter, but a press conference is scheduled for 0930 Thursday at Qwest Center Omaha for what the UFL is describing as a "major announcement." Quote Link to comment
Fuzzy Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Marlon Lucky already plays for Hartford, and Cory Ross is at Sacramento. Quote Link to comment
GMoose Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I think it could be really popular if they pick up a handful of old huskers. I'd go Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 The big question is.... what to name the team?!?! Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Are You Ready for Some (More) Husker Football? By HuskerLocker Because, rest assured, now that it appears clear that the United Football League will expand to Omaha, you're about to see "Husker Football, The Post-College Years." The UFL has a "major announcement" set for Thursday at 9:30 a.m. inside the Qwest Center. Mayor Jim Suttle will be there, as will UFL Commish Michael Huyghue and MECA Chairman Roger Dixon. You can expect that announcement to be the formation of an UFL team in Omaha for a six-game season, potentially this fall, although 2011 is also likely. Teams were originally located in New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Orlando. The NY franchise moved to Hartford, while Sacramento took over for San Francisco. Omaha should be one of the two new teams, and may play in the new TDAmeritrade Park. All of the UFL games, played in the fall, were broadcast on Versus. The season is purposefully short to allow players to "graduate" to any NFL teams looking for help after the usual rash of injuries. It's really no secret that plenty of former NU players are milling around a five-state area who would seriously consider trying out. And, from this point forward, if and when Husker players can't land on a NFL roster, an automatic default option - far surpassing the indoor Omaha Beef in compensation and visibility - now exists.

74Hunter Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Some reports say that Ameritrade park won't be able to fit a football field in it, I'm not sure of its dimensions. Maybe they will keep Rosenblatt alive for the Omaha ***********!!!! Edit: Maybe they will expand that Creighton kickball stadium so that a real sport will be played in it!!!! Quote Link to comment
