[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 807462, member: 74121"] Yeah. Saw this interview below from last month and he only said he was in discussions with two possible Canadian teams. He seems quite understated and I think his approach of starting small is sensible. Unfortunate that the teams with the best stadia, San Diego and Sacramento have the least quality. Any final between Denver and Ohio is not going to look like a great spectacle for sponsors. Looking at videos I think the Sacramento crowds (largest at 3000+) might have gone down after a string of losses. The crowd do sound really into it and it's not too one sided. I've no idea if it'll succeed or fail but it is such an opportunity to capture failed by high quality NFL talent that would give something new a go rather than give up and resign themselves to stacking shelves etc. At the least I'm glad this guy is giving it a shot. If it takes off he'll make a fortune. [url]http://www.forbes.com/sites/thobilehans/2016/06/14/the-entrepreneur-trying-to-bring-professional-rugby-to-america/#61e0b06462a2[/url] [/QUOTE]
