The UFL is a four-team startup designed as a six-week fall league (wrapping up by Thanksgiving) featuring prospects and the occasional NFL retread, such as Michael Vick. It’s a low-budget endeavor designed to work in (mostly) secondary markets and venues. More on theleague and its operating philisophy from Football Stadium Digest.

We don’t expect many baseball venues to be part of the USL’s plans, although Citi Field has been tossed around as a potential home for the New York City franchise. Other teams in the league include Las Vegas and Orlando.
