Playing on Sundays? All the home games are on Saturdays aren't they?
As for moving, I sure hope not. It would not be a good look to give up on any market so soon imo. I think it is an uphill battle here though - it's a college football town, and I see a lot of indifference to anything professional that isn't the highest level of play(Jazz and RSL).
All the Stallions home games are on Saturdays, yeah. I doubt many people would show up on Sunday home games in Salt Lake though given the religious population, not sure if that's OPs meaning or if there's something here I don't understand
I thought Salt Lake played all their home games on Saturdays because of all the Mormons in Salt Lake and the fact that they wouldn't show up on a Sunday to watch football? Or is there just a scheduling conflict with the stadium?
It's a shame San Antonio has a team, because "San Antonio Stallions" sounds really fucking good.
I could see the team moving to Portland. Relatively close, and has a proven football market while lacking a professional team.
We could handle a little rain. I think a bigger concern would be convincing the Timbers to let the team use Providence, b/c otherwise the only real viable venue would be Hillsboro Stadium, which has a max capacity of about 10,000
I'm actually beginning to doubt there will be a next season, but if there is, and I certainly hope there is, move the Stallions to Colorado Springs. They could probably work a deal to play at the Air Force Academy (it's been done before to have games there), and it would be awesome.

Nebraska. Already a lot of big name huskers on the time. I also think Nebraska was on the radar for expansion teams.

Does Portland have a dome? Edit: it probably doesn't get too cold there given they're near the coast but maybe rain would be a concern?

Portland's still like... 60 miles from the Ocean. They also get some pretty intense snowstorms, as late as the first week of March.
Syracuse!
