The United States Football League said Tuesday it will open training camps in Florida, Arizona and California on February 2nd in preparation for its 108-game inaugural season that begins March 6.
Twelve teams, competing in three divisions, play an 18-game schedule of nine home and nine away contests in a regular season grind that ends July 3.
In league openers on March 6, Boston is at Tampa Bay, Chicago at Washington, New Jersey at Los Angeles, Oakland at Arizona and Philadelphia at Denver. Birmingham entertains Michigan on Monday night, March 7.
The schedule calls for four gamesto be played on Friday night, 20 each on Saturday and Monday nights and 64 on Sundays.
Two rules differ from National Football League regulations. The USFL will have a two-point conversion attempt after touchdowns and kickers have the option of using a 1-inch kicking tee on placement attempts.
