The United Football League - A Conversation with UFL Expert Mike Mitchell 

What do you think of the UFL's future?

Great show Sean. I really think Mike Mitchell has his fingers on the pulse of the league. As you very well know I'm perhaps the biggest Stallions fan in the known universe. 😊 I've taken the personal steps of encouraging my family and friends to purchase season tickets to Stallions games. To my surprise most of them have been receptive to doing so. If we can get more people to reach out to family and friends we would be in a position to build a strong fan base here in Birmingham. Our Stallions are definitely worthy of better support. I would love to see us average between 16 to 18k per game next year. WE CAN DO THIS . Giddy up and Buck EM 👍 😎

Great interview. Mike is great. Wish he had his own show.

I've said it before, I'll say it again (and Mike also seems to agree) - Love him. Hate him (justifiably so). UFL needs that Vince McMahan promotion juggernaut. The product is there, just need to advertise the h*ll out of it. Pay the d*mn money!!!

Long live Spring Football long live UFL

I’m very worried about Friday nights in March in places like Washington? It could be brutal - and how many people are going to watch on Friday nights going against NBA , NHL and March Madness. ?

I enjoyed the interview. However, I disagree with what Redbird's representatives told Mike Mitchell. I believe the Redbird is a short term investor. They move from investment to investment rather quickly. Especially if they see their investment not panning out, they pull their investment quickly and move on to the another investment. ABC and Fox are TV media organizations. What drives TV media is popularity of shows. If the show is not showing popularity quickly, it will be pulled. Remember, TV media is driven by advertising dollars. That mean advertising could be lost if a show is not producing numbers therefore the adds are not being seen by the amount of people that the want. So the bottom line for me is that Redbird, ABC and Fox are run by bottom line bean counters, not dreamers that will loose money for an extended period of time in order for their product in this case the UFL to succeed. So I give it 2 more seasons at most if the league doesn't not show significant improvement both by TV ratings and attendance. Also, expansion in 2026 could be a factor. With not expansion, I believe potential fans will lose interest in the league. Personally I have watched all game of the XFL, USFL and the UFL. It would be a lose to me. I personally believe that new ownership that see the vision of spring football and is willing to go all in.

Do you think the UFL could possibly merge with the IFL if this season does not go well ? I think it would be awesome to see the Stallions and teams like that play indoors and give the IFL National TV exposure.
