The first ever UFL sellout
Posted by Mike Florio on September 21, 2010 7:47 PM ET

At a time when more than a few NFL teams are struggling to sell all of the tickets to their games, one of the five UFL teams has managed to fill up the home stadium in the franchise's debut.

The UFL announced today that the Omaha Nighthawks have sold all seats to Friday night's game against the Hartford Colonials.*

Sure, Rosenblatt Stadium holds only 24,000 -- but that will still beat the league's regular-season attendance record by nearly 10,000.

The Omaha roster includes plenty of players with NFL experience, including Wendell Bryant, Maurice Clarett (OK, Clarett really doesn't have much NFL experience), Ricardo Colclough, Damion Cook, Devard Darling, Dusty Dvoracek, Robert Ferguson, George Foster, Jeff Garcia, Charles Grant, Ahman Green, Morlon Greenwood, Cate June, Jeb Putzier, Aaron Rouse, Stuart Schweigert, D.J. Shockley, and Gary Stills.

The game will be televised on HDNet at 7:00 p.m. ET.* The Colonials are 1-0; Omaha didn't play in Week One.

24,000 is pretty impressive.

I'm going to watch it friday night.

Jeff Garcia

hahahahaha

can we have this thread merged into the one in the pro sports forum?

I can't find a depth chart.

Is Maurice starting? I hope so and I hope he comes out with his guns firing.

Doubt it with Ahman Green on the roster.

I don't think they release it until the day before (today) or the day of the game.

Guess Mo mo didn't get to many, if any, carries.

Uhh, we knew that before the game started. They told he he wasn't going to get any. Did you bother reading any posts before you posted?

This thread said nothing of the kind. The only thing speculated was that he wouldn't start ahead of Ahmad Green. Someone piss in your Wheaties?

Someone failed at being a smart ass.

My bad I read on a different thread that Clarett had a return and special teams play as shown on ESPN. But, all the pre game news was basically saying he wasnt going to carry the ball.

Still.. I was a jerk

Former OSU TE Roy Hall plays for Omaha. Saw some highlights and looks like he had a pretty good game. Looks like some of these UFL rosters have some pretty decent talent-- much better than the various arena leagues.

I just can't into Arena League. Too much of a novelty that might be fun to watch in person if you have nothing better to do. What are the UFL rules like? Regular football?

Same as regular football. I think this league will grow.

basically.. no intentional grounding if thrown beyond the line of scrimmage, offense doesn't lose ball if fumbled through endzone, and each team gets ball in OT
