Malzahn I did not have on the list because I think he’ll be a college head coach soon.

How about Orlando Florida, 10 th largest TV market. Renovation of the Citrus bowl. Huge for tourist, populatin over 2 million. Big footfall city, Orlando has had XFL, USFL, WFL teams all which have done very well in attendance averaging over 56,000, and that was when Orlando was small.
Did somebody forget Orlando??? This is a large “destination” city and has prospered with other football leagues, most recently the XFL. they also have a brand new 45,000 seat stadium at UCF, ideal for the UFL. No conversation of top 10 cities should be without Orlando!
Orlando would be on the top of my list as well. I’m just glad to see Portland noted.
It’s sure been quiet on the news front, though. Will there be a 2009 UFL season?
The UFL would be stupid not to include Orlando, it’s the biggest non-NFL market after L.A.
Definately a chacne for birmingham and memphis but I think New York is a bit of a long shot.

Although all of those cities would be good cities for an UFL team, one city you forgot about is Shreveport. Sure the last pro football team here wasn’t successful, but the economy is right for pro football in Shreveport-Bossier. No disrespect to Portland or Oklahoma City, but Shreveport has great support for pro football with the Saints and Cowboys dominating the sports fanbase here, but most people cannot afford to travel to New Orleans or Dallas to see them play in person.
