With Vick hurt, do Eagles turn to Nighthawks QB Garcia?
By Steven Pivovar WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER wrote:Florio reported that the 40-year-old Garcia, who signed with the United Football League Nighthawks in mid-August, could get an early release if a National Football League team sought his services. Florio also reported that Garcia’s agent told him that his client is interested in returning to the NFL.
Garcia demands about 5 million a season Collins is pulling 2 million a year and Hanie makes under 400,000 a year it is all salary cap. Â No team will pay 5 million for a backup is what it boils down to.Big E wrote:So I don't pay much attention to the politics of the NFL salary cap, but why are there players like Culpepper and Garcia in the UFL and players like what the Bears flopped out on the field after Cutler went down still in the NFL (Collins and Hainey)?
Well they will have Garcia start so he is worth it, but the NFL players have much less power or rights than NBA or MLB players. Â They play the most dangerous sport get paid less and aren't guaranteed their whole contracts. Â Players can be released without much penalty for teams.Big E wrote:So why have a salary cap and roster limits if you can just go out and hire anyone you want whenever you want?
Or is this pretty much why they're going on strike next year?
I did a little looking around on ticket master today for the next home Nighthawks game.
Bleachers - are sold out
Blue seats - you can still get 4 tickets together near the 50 yard line, but they are $50 each.
Yellow seats - are sold out
Red seats - You can still get two together, but not 4.
Looks like it should easily be another sell out.

Just looking at the UFL website  and saw this headline
United Football League Alert: Major Announcement in Omaha on Monday, October 18
http://www.ufl-football.com/news/united ... october-18
New teams,  a Nighthawks staduim, league  folding, or moving to the NFL your guess is a good as mine.

This is bigger than just any trade and they wouldn't announce a big announcement for the league folding (they would fax AP writers and hide for awhile if that happened). Â It could be about new teams, it could be the league was purchased by the NFL, a new stadium or something that is worth having the CEO of the UFL, a city chamber (which almost crosses off league-expansion) and the mayor.crowtrobot wrote:Just looking at the UFL website and saw this headline

I'm thinking it is a new stadium agreement between the partial owner of the team with UNO 30/80 sure (70% unsure of the direction of this).
The UFL championship game is hosted at one of the team's home stadiums. They pick the site about halfway thru the season, taking into account likelihood of that city's team being in the game and attendance.Erik wrote:You must know something the rest of us dont.

Given that Omaha is currently leading the league in both the standings and attendance, this is probably going to be the least shocking announcement ever.

Why set a host site midseason? Â Wait until we get to the end of the season, and the first team to clinch a playoff spot gets to host.OmahaBen wrote:The UFL championship game is hosted at one of the team's home stadiums.

Can you imagine what kind of crowd will show up to watch Hartford vs. Orlando at Rosenblatt?
No idea, but that's what they do.HskrFanMike wrote: Why set a host site midseason?
Only thing I can think of is television wise, they may need to let HDNet or whoever know early enough so they can get their preparations done and contract with a local production company if needed.
Otherwise, I've got nothing.
Omaha shows up for plenty of events not involving a local team. Â I bet it will be a really good crowd no matter who plays in the game.HskrFanMike wrote:Why set a host site midseason?

The next Game appears to be a sell out... Â There are not two tickets together anywhere, only single random seats.

New policy for Nighthawks imbibers

Juan Perez Jr. WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER wrote:The beer will flow a little less freely at Thursday’s Omaha Nighthawks football game.
A public beer garden used at previous games will not open, beer-buying customers will need wristbands showing they are of age, and tailgaters will have less time to party before the kickoff against Las Vegas, a team official said Monday.
Changes to Rosenblatt Stadium alcohol policies came after city officials and the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission met with Nighthawks representatives at City Hall on Monday to discuss controlling alcohol sales at the team’s home games this season.
“I think the problem we’re running into is that Omaha has never seen an event like this,” said Joel Fitzpatrick, the United Football League’s director of event operations. “So we’re all just trying to get ahead of it a little bit and learn about what controls to have in place to make sure we don’t have any problems.”
A patron showing a valid ID will be issued a wristband that will clear him or her to purchase alcohol, though not in the beer garden the team erected in a pavilion outside Rosenblatt Stadium. A VIP lounge attached to the beer garden will remain in use, Fitzpatrick said.

This is a nightmare, its going to take a half hour to just get wristbanded. The center plate is already shorthanded on employees, now they have to find people to man the wristband stations. When 12,000 show up on thirsty thursday the lines are long, hate to see what 18,000 looks like.Brad wrote:New policy for Nighthawks imbibers

I know... Last night they said on the news that there will only be THREE stations! Â You half hour might be generous...

There's only what, 4 wristband stations at the Qwest? South entrance, main entrance, north endzone, and what, 1 in the upper deck by the convention/skywalk entrance? maybe 2 up there?Brad wrote:I know...

It won't be as bad as you think.
Five plus the club lounge and suites each do their own. ÂOmahaBen wrote:There's only what, 4 wristband stations at the Qwest? South entrance, main entrance, north endzone, and what, 1 in the upper deck by the convention/skywalk entrance? maybe 2 up there?
Also the Qwest has way wider concourses so adding another line isn't a big deal. Â Rosenblatt is too small for what they already have. Â All I hope is the line for the wrist band is outside somewhere. Â They need one out in the front area, one down each base line, and one in each outfield. Â I sit out near the 15 yard line on the east side and do everything I can to avoid the main concourse.

Well the way Centerplate has done it before it will probably be 3 people at one table. There are your 3 stations.
Honestly though I would not be suprised if they just had 3 tables set up in the main entrance. The main problem is centerplate and the city is understaffed.
I was wrong, the bracelets were painless. Â They did them at the gate!
