Rumor is that the USFL will have 3 host cities / hubs for the 2023 year: Birmingham (still the HQ), Memphis and Detroit. The Tampa Bay Bandits would move to Memphis and be rebranded as the Showboats.

Be nice having more teams from cities without pro football teams. I'd hope Birmingham/Memphis games would have higher attendance.

yeah, natural rivalry between the 2 cities plus not a terrible drive.

Yeah, I wonder if cities like Lousiville or Little Rock have a chance of getting teams.

In the latest MSA delineations released by the White House, Birmingham re-added Walker County (~65,000) to the metro. That's a good bump, but it's also going to make the metro start shedding people given the former 6 county configuration only grew by a small, small amoun in the most recent estimate.

EDIT: Additionally, the metro dropped Hoover as a primary city. Now it's just the Birmingham Metropolitan Area.

Welp, Birmingham-Southern closes in May... not a good look for the city or the state.

What are the plans for the AT&T Tower again? Besides putting in residences?
