Re: USFL coming back
They wanted to play at Memorial but couldn't because of baseball. They may have looked at NMC Stadium, I don't recall, but they ended up at Byrd Stadium. They played at Franklin Field as the Philadelphia Stars the two season prior. I recall that Trump ramrodded a proposal through to move USFL games to the fall after the '85 season. The Stars owner, Tannenbaum, knew he could never compete with the Eagles and moved the team. Trump wanted to show up the NFL after they spurned him, but his power move ended up killing the league before they ever got fall football off the ground.

Re: USFL coming back
Right. Since they were playing in the Spring, the MLB schedule for 1985 was already set, and impossible to work around. 1986 was supposed to go to fall football for the USFL, but that never happened because Trump overplayed their hand.

Re: USFL coming back
I cant imagine the product will be that good. I dont follow any other sports because i cant find a reason to really care that much, this prolly wont change anything. But hey, another place for NFL teams to swoop in and grab talent
