PLEASE NOTE:
Despite a diligent, mind-numbing effort to complete the initial USFL.INFO site design, time constraints and the discovery/acquisition of literally thousands of pieces of new material prevented completion of the site by its May 11, 2007 launch date.  Rather than delay the launch however, USFL.INFO went "live" on May 11 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the announcement that professional spring football was on its way.

The remaining areas will be completed over time, and for sake of convenience those areas currently unfinished are indicated in parenthesis in the menu below.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and hope you enjoy the site!


July 23, 2007 -- In the 10 weeks or so since the launch of USFL.INFO I've hit a wall in terms of the amount of time I have been able to dedicate to site updates.  While USFL.INFO is a labor of love, that labor isn't what pays the bills, and consequently its taken somewhat of a 'back burner' status.  I have received a number of submissions of material from a variety of sources however, and assuming that time permits I anticipate finishing some sections of the site and adding at least some of this new material in August.

May 11, 2007

On this, the silver anniversary of the press conference at "21" in New York City announcing the launch of the United States Football League, USFL.INFO makes its debut on the world wide web.

USFL.INFO will be perhaps the most comprehensive site ever to tackle the subject of the league that launched pro football in the springtime.  The goals for USFL.INFO are fairly simple:
.
. Not to espouse Donald Trump-like hyperbole, but USFL.INFO is probably the largest internet web site ever dedicated to the United States Football League and its colorful history.  But even still, we want to make it larger by adding your USFL recollections.  Whether you were a player, coach, member of a team front office, hot dog vendor, or just a fan, we want to hear from you - and to hear your USFL story!

Please contact us and tell us your recollections of the USFL.  We'll be glad to add them to the site, or we may ask to interview you for an article!
  • To analyze the USFL as a business venture, studying where it went wrong, and speculating how it could have gone right.
  • To provide an in-depth look at the league both on and off the field.
  • To collect and share first-hand accounts of those involved in the league, from team owners and coaches, players, cheerleaders, hot dog vendors - anyone who was involved in the USFL during its run.
  • To give exclusive access to confidential information and documents that had been thought lost to history.

With these goals in mind, USFL.INFO will forever be a "work in progress" - never complete until everything there is to record about the USFL, both on and off the field, has been recorded and disseminated.

While over a month and several thousand dollars were spent collecting myriad information on the league in advance of its launch, the site admittedly has some omissions in its content.  USFL.INFO is intended to be a collaborative effort, and to that end I'm eager to add information to the site from others:  first-hand accounts, commentaries, game reports, images of team or league memorabilia, anything that will help chronicle the history of the last true competitor to the National Football League.

To view the information collected thus far, simply use the links embedded in the graphics at the top of this and every page of USFL.INFO.  Clicking on the Denver Gold logo, for example, will take you to that team's section of the site, while you can get information about the league's 1984 season by clicking on "The 1984 Season," and so forth.

I encourage you to contact us should you have something you think is worth contributing to the USFL.INFO effort, or just to say hello and give your thoughts on how we can make the site the best it can be!
. USFL.INFO would like to offer an opportunity for United States Football League alumni, be they players, coaches, front office personnel, or anyone affiliated with the league's teams, to participate in our free "Keep In Touch" service, giving them a chance to re-connect with teammates or co-workers with whom you may have lost touch.

The way it works is simple - you contact us, sending an e-mail with your name and contact information (mail address, phone number, and/or e-mail address), and what team you were affiliated with.

From that point until you tell us to stop, every time someone else from your team signs up, we'll send you an e-mail to tell you about it, giving you the chance to contact us again and ask for their contact information.

To ensure that privacy is respected on all sides, we then ask the new member if they consent to provide the information.  If they do, we send it to you, and you're back in touch!

This is a service provided free of charge to anyone connected with the USFL, and since USFL.INFO is a small operation, you won't be placed on a spam list or anything... though we might just ask to interview you as part of our "Share Your Story" series!
