My better half wanted to go to the opener, and it has me hooked. I am not even a football fan(NFL/NCAA games are WAY too slow for me, but I have got into this league because I think they get it right. I've gone to 3 of the 4 Stallions games and was really hoping they could somehow get in the playoffs since I'll be on Vegas when the title game happens(before it got moved).

This market doesn't care. I know the box score said 8400 last night, but it looked like maybe 2k to me, and the other 2 games weren't much better. I've also read all sorts of excuses and I'm not buying any of them.

Weather - every game has been 40's or 50's, and certainly nothing that Utah/BYU doesn't play in during the Fall.

Marketing - I think their social media team does just fine, but I imagine their budget is pretty thin. I've seen billboards around town, and they get decent radio and TV coverage from what I've seen.

Affordability - there were $10 tickets yesterday (with donation) and there have been plenty of good ticket deals posted by team. $15 and you can sit anywhere you want basically. Plenty of good options for families.

Quality of play - Yes, the team has been inconsistent, but they have been good at home and very competitive. What bums me out is that their roster is littered with ex Utah/BYU and MWC players. If I cared about NCAA football I would WANT to cheer these guys on as they get a 2nd chance to earn a living playing the game they love.

With all that said, I hope they get another year in SLC and that the AAF marketing team can do a bit more player/previous school specific targeting to get the college fans to at least give it a chance. I dunno, give Utah STH's free tix just to get them in the door.

TL;DR ...I don't like football except fir the AAF and want the Stallions to succeed.

It's Gameday, everyone! Today's the day we actually freeze the Fleet! Full Steed Ahead!

I'm assuming that there will be a next season, of course. But the fact that we can't paint the field, have had the worst average turnout, don't have a loyal following due to poor record, and can't expect to draw any real crowd if we play on Sundays makes me wonder if we're a prime candidate to get moved.

If we did get moved, where would you want the Stallions to go?

We should have won so many of these close games this season. No question. But I am so proud of our defense, especially our front 7. We gave the Commanders fits and had em dead to rights until Williams came in.

Hard to be too mad when we've had exciting, nailbiter games - just sucks to be on the losing end.

It's Gameday, everyone! Our 6 - 4 season continues today! Full Steed Ahead!

Hello! In the interest of generating more content for the sub, we're interested in hearing from you on what you'd like to see. Game threads will still be hosted by r/aafb but we are our own community and can do things a little differently if we want to, so let's hear it! Do you want to do weekly meme threads? Would you like Stallion-related podcast content cross-posted to this sub?

Please leave your ideas in some comments and let's start a discussion about how to improve our subreddit.

Thanks, Alex_Demote

It's Gameday, everyone! Let's Freeze the Fleet this evening! Full Steed Ahead!

There has to be people like me, who after 3 weeks, are Stallions fans for life. How is there no GameDay thread, prediction thread, or anything? Our Ice Ponies need support as they run the table from here on out.
