St. Louis Battlehawks are attracting crowds in the UFL despite challenges faced by other teams
The UFL is facing difficulties in filling stadiums in seven of its cities, but one city stands out for its success. The St. Louis Battlehawks have consistently packed stands with over 30,000 fans for their third consecutive home game, with 32,969 fans attending their recent victory over the Houston Roughnecks.
Meanwhile, a Cardinals game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis also drew a significant crowd of 38,559 spectators on the same day. This has led to discussions about whether St. Louis should have an NFL team again. The city previously had the Cardinals and later welcomed the Rams before they returned to Los Angeles in 2016, resulting in a substantial settlement for St. Louis due to misleading statements made by the team and the NFL.
Despite past setbacks with the Rams, some believe that St. Louis should still be considered as a potential NFL city in the future due to its willingness to support football and evident fan base. However, it may take some time for the NFL to consider returning to St. Louis, and ultimately the decision lies with them if they are looking for a city where fans will show up to games.
In conclusion, while many cities struggle with attendance issues in professional sports leagues such as the UFL, St. Louis Battlehawks prove that there is still demand for football in this market despite past failures of previous teams like Cardinals and Rams who relocated from here years ago.
