Open Extended ReactionsThe United Football League is planning a series of market changes after adding entrepreneur Mike Repole to its investment group and giving him full authority over its business operations.
The league has not yet finalized any other new markets, nor has it decided which markets it will leave.
Repole made clear, however, that he prefers markets that have smaller stadiums than some of the college facilities the UFL has played in for the past two years.
"If by 2035, if we can't have 16 teams, I'm going to consider it a personal failure.
In the short term, the league's eight teams will continue to practice at one site, likely in Arlington, Texas.
