A further note on the Nighthawks:
From The Tribune
The largest crowd in UFL history, 23,067 fans, came out to witness the premiere of Omaha, Nebraska’s first professional football team after the state became nationally recognised for its mass following of the NCAA University of Nebraska Cornhuskers football programme.
Aside from the biggest crowd, the Nighthawks’ Rosenblatt Stadium was also the home to one of the most spectacular games in the brief history of the league.
Omaha scored their first touchdown in franchise history on a pass from Garcia to fullback Rendrick Taylor to tie the game, 7-7.
Not too shabby.
The Nighthawks next play Sacramento at Rosenblatt Stadium. Gametime is 8:30 PM EDT, viewable on HDNET.
That’s the threat of MBP, given his size and demeanor, you assume he’s just in there to block and WHAMMY he catches one.
