Does Birmingham deserve the Stallions?

[u/astroknight1701]

I’m a Stallions fan. I was a fan of the original Stallions. I listened to the very first Stallions game against the Michigan Panthers on the radio in 1983.

The current version has won three straight championships and very much in contention for a fourth. But the attendance is absolutely putrid.

I’ve heard all the excuses. “It’s hot during the day.” Yeah so how come they don’t show up on Friday night? “People don’t like to go downtown at night.” OK. The lack of marketing complaint is certainly valid but it’s been four years. Pretty much every game has been televised.

Three straight championships, and the stadium looks practically empty. So disappointing. I know the city all too well, and it’s still disappointing.

It’s laughable to think that the New England Patriots once almost moved to Birmingham.

Maybe the Stallions deserve to look for a home that might appreciate them.
