Wow. Very cool.
I am not getting anything on the "about us" which could be the security system on the computer I mostly use.
What level of football will this be? ... compared to the leagues we cover here.

Not trying to be a downer...but many others before you have tried starting regional leagues like this and many have failed. Minnesota just isnt a huge football market, and I would know as a football nerd that lived in MPLS for 10 years. I mean the Vikings hardly ever sell out, the Gophs never get a big crowd, and the semi-pro teams crowds are pathetic. You would have better luck starting a semi-pro hockey league. I DO however wish you luck. With enough $$$$ put into something anyone can make it work. But take examples of what NOT to do from the semi-pro outdoor teams that have come and gone from the metro area. It's aaaaalllll about the caaaash money in these regional leagues. The second the fans start to realize the players arent being paid or one teams uniforms are mis-matched...its over

Oh I know all of this, thats why I having games in high school arenas. I am a semi-pro vet and I know what to do. Greed is not my plan. Indoor ball is a lot more fun to watch at the semi-pro level and I have the cash. Not to mention I run the whole thing so there will be no F ups. Thanks for the post, I don't think your a downer. People just want BLUE COLLAR FUN these days and I will not lie to the DIV ll & lll guys. 500 people a game will be enough. Unlike most of my semi-pro rivals, I see things for what they really are & I'm happy with my life I don't feel the need to amplify it LOL

OH YA! if you would like a sample of my book on semi-pro football, shoot me your email via IM. You will laugh your ass off, it will just be the first chapter I only have 9 so far. Everyone who reads it (who has been around semi-pro) gets a kick out of it. A buddy of mine spit coffee all over his laptop reading it.

I see the St. Paul Pioneers have been replaced by the Capital City Pride. The Pioneers have a web site and are an established team. www.pioneersfootball.org/

Yep the Pioneers are very established, I was on the team in 03 for a short time and got hurt. The old owner is a friend of mine. They just changed their mind. I think I was moving to fast for them. Sucks because I gave them a game ball lol, those are not cheap to have made. But now I own all six teams
