Presser pushed back to 11:04. I guess it will be on FS1 and The Herd.
Local Fox Channel has it

You know, I'm LMFAO right now! Remember, the Bham bashers said, "Why build a new stadium when you don't have a professional team?" Well, we built a new stadium and gained both a professional team, and an entire professional league! The irony is too funny!

I just bought my tickets. Exciting times indeed. If we didn't build this stadium this league would not have come and the city would not be getting this level of exposure.

all 8 head coaches have been announced.

i'm guessing we'll be hearing a lot more about players / potential draft right after the super bowl.

speaking of... with the super bowl being on NBC, i assume we'll see some USFL spots?

Since Birmingham is the headquarters for the USFL in the first year..

"The USFL’s agreements also provide team practice and training facilities, office space, event staff, and other amenities to operate the league from Birmingham."

So pretty much every aspects of the operation of the league will occur from Birmingham. I'm assuming all team's/staffs/coaches will be in Birmingham for the draft, training camps, etc.

The amount of FOX and NBC production crews being in the city to cover the operation of the league through pre/post games shows, broadcasting games, commercials, promo's, television specials, marketing spots.....going to be good.

That's a good get. I didn't notice that. You, Sir, are an eagle eye.
