United football League in Cheyenne?
I post on another forum for the United Football League which starts play this October and I post the above question on that site and would like to see what all of you think. Can Cheyenne support a team? would the locals come out to a game if a pro UFL team came to town.
If we're going to talk about football in New Mexico why not Cheyenne? Someone had mentioned North Dakota a while back, could Wyoming support a team......or would they want to?
Eastern Division
New York
Florida
Connecticut
Central Division
Milwaukee
Oklahoma City
Birmingham
Mountian Division
Cheyenne
Salt lake
Albuquerque
Pacific Division
California
LasVegas
Los Angels
Just a thought.....

What kind of numbers are you talking about for support? Cheyenne is not that big of a city.

Well, the four other teams in the league will be playing at MLB stadiums and college football stadiums that could hold 40,000. I know Cheyenne is not that big of a town, but maybe 15,000 to 20,000. Would any of the Denver fans support a team in Cheyenne, and is there a stadium that could hold that size of a crowd in Cheyenne?

No stadium that I know of. Nearest Wyoming stadium would be in Laramie which is the only college with a team. And Laramie is a bit of a drive taking weather into account. Not sure if any support would come out of the Denver area or not. Maybe Fort Collins and the Front Range.
In order to have Cheyenne hit a stadum with 20,000. One Third of the Town would have to attend. |

Casper has an indoor football franchise that seems to draw fairly well for a minor indoor franchise.
It's Not Just a Game...It's an EXPERIENCE!
I believe there is (or was??) s semi-pro or sandlot team in Cheyenne but they played all away games until recently due to the lack of a playing field. If I recall correctly, they were overjoyed to share a field with a high-school so that they could actually play in Cheyenne.
I don't see any way that Cheyenne could support a UFL franchise--Sorry  |

To the best of my knowledge, there is no Juco football anywhere in the state. If anyone is aware of a program, I will happily stand corrected. |

the Albuquerque area has more people than the state of Wyoming, I dont think it would work in Cheyenne. It MIGHT work in Albuquerque but it aint the real thing, Albuquerque residents are NFL fanatics so Im not too sure a minor league UFL team would get too much of a response here but you never know.
Our NBADL team here draws a very poor attendance, no one cares about minor league NBA basketball here, this is a college basketball town.
Cheyenne is way too small for the UFL, there are so many more larger cities with larger areas around to support a team, I'll name a few.
Oklahoma City
Tulsa
Albuquerque
Tucson
El Paso
Lubbock
Amarillo
Austin
San Antonio
Colorado Springs
Las Vegas
Boise
Birmingham
Baton Rouge
Little Rock
Norfolk
Richmond
Memphis
LA
Des Moines
Wichita
Omaha
Salt Lake City
Milwaukee
Louisville
Providence
Columbia,SC
Charleston
Raleigh
Mobile
Columbus
Hartford
Chattanooga
Knoxville
Lexington
Syracuse
and some of these teams probably would never get one
