The Citrus Bowl is a lot cheaper than you think, especially if games are being played during the day. Disney can accommodate any size crowd because their bleachers are retractable and are removable. UCF would allow it and their Stadium isnt as pricey as you may think. Using a HS Stadium would devalue the team and league. The problem with filling seats is that you must ADVERTISE!! It always comes back to that no matter what. Tuskers had 1 BillBoard and played 3 TV commercials All season. Thats all they did. With the right HC and GM the team can really strive here. I'm telling you, I could make it happen all too easy in Orlando!! You guys have no idea how much of a sleeping Giant Orlando is when it comes to Football! IT's READY IF DONE RIGHT!!!

I thought the Tuskers paid 100K a game for the Citrus Bowl. Is the SFL ready to take that on? Any why don't they just hand you a team if that is the case! I can move back to Orlando and work, and move back into my old apartment

I can move back to Orlando and work, and move back into my old apartment I've never heard any solid numbers for rent at the Citrus Bowl. I know Hartford charged 100k for the Rent, Vegas charged 90k for Sam Boyd, and Omaha charged a mere pittance (10k) for the condemned Rosenblatt, but is charging significantly more for TD Ameritrade. If I were to make an educated guess, Orlando was probably charging a whole lot less than 100k, especially since high schools seem to have no problem affording to use the stadium.

So perhaps a dumb question but I'm taking nothing for granted....Has the SFL ever expressed interest in Orlando that you know of? And do they know about "Crazy Michaels Everthing Tuskers Must Go Sale" now on? lol

For that matter, we're not entirely sure why they picked the cities they are in now, except for Michigan. I got the impression someone from Vegas contacted them, but I don't know about the rest of them.

Well maybe PeeJay can shed some light on if the SFL has ever expressed interest in Orlando. And if they might revive the Tuskers. How cool would that be?

The highschools get to use it for free. Orlando owns the stadium so charging the highschools for using it is like selling your own car to yourself. As for the UFL costs it seems the list of highest to lowest went like this:
Hartford (thank you Dannel Malloy) Las Vegas Omaha Orlando Sacramento
