Ohio Glory didn't have that bad of attendance except the last two games but they had only won one game by then. A couple of games in the 30,000 range and a game in the 40,000 area. If you check the rest of the league they averaged more then any other team in the United States. Ohio loves football and would welcome another team. www.footballdb.com/teams/wlaf/ohio-glory/results/1992And there is less disposable income there because there are two new sports franchises there in the Crew and Blue Jackets. You cannot dismiss the final two games since they only had five home games. When it was half of your high, that's a problem since most everyone stopped caring.

You cannot dismiss the final two games since they only had five home games. When it was half of your high, that's a problem since most everyone stopped caring. The last two games still pulled more then 20,000. Thats still more then most of the games for the other U.S. teams. I live around there so yeah there is plenty of people who would love a football team here. When the Arena team was here it was one of the highest in the league for attendance. The Crews stadium isn't the biggest so a sell out is only around 24000 and they only average around 14,000 a game and with only about twenty games a year. Jackets only have forty games a year and only can sell out at around 18,000 and I know they don't do that. Now when it comes to a Buckeye's game 106,000 stadium always sells out. It's not about disposable income it's about interest in the sport. Ohio is a football state. Third most college teams in the u.s. two pro teams, arena team and we all love the Friday night lights. Also the Football hall of Fame which is a great place for even more football.

So we've moved on from Birmingham to Columbus now?
No matter. They won't pull it off.

Both the Crew and CBJ play in the spring...so as a result, the disposable income dollars are lessened. Then there is that other new thing in 2014...the Hollywood Casino Columbus. As 'phil' pointed out, you seem to agree with EVERY city which the NAFL claims to think will work outside of the only Orlando, which is the city who actually has tourist/business travel even though they are top ten in mortgages under water. But keep hope alive for any new, poorly planned football leagues by dusting off cities which were a part of former failures. *-No need to flatter yourself in Ohio Pride as I was born at Riverside Hospital in Columbus and lived in Worthington until age 8.

Yes both play in the spring and fall and one plays in winter and the other in the summer so it's sixty games spread over a year. Hardly a dent in the disposable income for a city of over 700,000 people. I've only agreed with two of the cities and it's on the boarder for Birmingham. There are others that don't sit well with me and probably shouldn't have a team. If you look at Orlando in the other leagues they have always had the one of the least attendance of the leagues. But seriously what cities should leagues put teams in? I'm sure when the USFL (if they ever get going) will look at some of these as well. Also not Dusty.

Oh, well, if they "don't sit well" with you, there's no point, then.
