USFL Playoff Recap: Stallions Are Seeing Stars

USFL - The USFL shifted its focus to Canton and the Pro Football Hall of Fame for it's inaugural playoffs. While the move may have been forced by Birmingham's commitment to hosting the World Games, the change of venue brought with it a refreshing new look to the league, as well as decent (if not amazing) attendance, creating the best atmosphere the league had seen since its very first game. I'm sure the league was hoping for a sellout and they certainly didn't hit it, even with a Trace Adkins concert between games to pump up the numbers, but having literally any crowd to speak of was a boost to the viewing experience, as both the Philadelphia Stars-New Jersey Generals game in the early window and the nightcap matchup between the Birmingham Stallions and New Orleans Breakers had a solid level of playoff intensity to them.
