Just took a look at ticket prices for the Atlanta Legends. Nosebleeds are a minimum of $28. Lower level endzone tickets are $42. Definitely high for minor league football.

AAF talked to Kaepernick, but apparently he still thinks he should get starting NFL QB money, $20m+
Source: New Alliance league had conversation with Kaepernick

That tells you that Kapernick really is wanting the money more than PLAYING the game ...
If you think as little as $60 for 4 games high. well .........stay home then.

From the looks of the mostly empty stadium seating during broadcasts of the games...
Stay Home Then
is the popular consensus.
DISCLAIMER:
I've been an AFL season ticket holder since '99
I curiously checked pricing for season tickets for local AAF team

Kaptain beat me to it. The point wasn't he thinking the prices might be too high, a whole bunch of other people did too.
I thought for sure San Antonio was going to win this game .... Nope.
I see good things for them though, they have a really good RB, good recvrs and a good / getting better Qb
I watched parts of all the games over the weekend ... as far as attendance goes ... when they showed the endzones for like a Field Goal, No One was in the stands in at least one of them, maybe most of them.
It occurred to me,
looking at people in stadiums,
most of the few people
at the games
are in the BellCurve of seats
around the 50 yard line.
The most expensive seat.
So...
a) people not buying 'cheap' seats?
b) stadiums allowing cheap tix to move to expensive seats?
Hmmm....

Report: AAF was in danger of missing payroll last week before NHL owner invested
Not a good sign two weeks in.

Having a business plan so poorly thought out that you cannot make payroll, in week 2, is just poor management. Income consists of, more or less, two things. TV money and live gate. They had to have some idea what the live gate would be and they certainly knew what the TV money was. Apparently no body used the common business sense to say "well, we project $X coming in, and have to pay out $Y, and Y is more than X, so this venture is foolish, let's move on to the next idea."
It seems that, among the many things modern sports owners have forgotten is that it is aberrational how much athletes make. If you paid these players a THIRD of what they now do, how many have any other realistic option? They are making $84K/year. Now I'm sure some, perhaps many, actually finished school and actually majored in something that yields $80K/year at 25 to 30 years old And God bless them. The rest? If you are telling me that you cannot find enough guys to make up 10 teams, you are just wrong.

Which makes me question them putting these teams in cities that already have NFL teams.
There's a reason that most minor league baseball teams aren't in major league cities.
I don't see how a minor league football league can make it without NFL money.
Both the Minor Leagues and NBA D League have heavy involvement and funding from the Major Leagues and NBA. For a minor football league to survive, they need the same thing from the NFL.
I think Derwin is right. I don't see how this league makes it without a more formal link to the NFL.
I understand that tehy went from 2.1 million viewers in week one to 640,000 in week 2. That plus the news about almost missing payrill makes me wonder if they will last.
I saw that ...
He was assigned to San Antonio ... and they PASSED ... which allowed Memphis to jump in ...
I think, next week the Memphis team will see an increase in viewership ... they NEED itat 1-5.
I'm somewhat surprised that San Antonio didn't take him (maybe didn't want the potential headache), I have seen San Antonio's QB play this year and while it has been above avg (and I have watched Logan Woodside for years now, when he was at Toledo) Logan hasn't played as well as I had hoped, obviously its good enough to keep him as the starter.
I think Manzel IS much better than Most QB's in the league.
