Event Description: Breakers Schedule

The New Orleans Breakers will be at home for their first two games when they open their 1984 season against the Memphis Showboats, it was reported today.
The Breakers will kick off the season Feb. 26 with the Showboats and play the Birmingham Stallions a week later in the Superdome, the Times-Picayune reported.
“We do have a tentative schedule, but it hasn't been totally confirmed yet,” Breakers' president Randy Vataha said. “It does show two games at home right now, but I don't want to say anything until it's official.”
An announcement on the USFL schedule has been delayed because the league has expanded from 12 to 16 teams and some teams have had difficulties determining playing sites -- New Orleans and Houston among them.
The Breakers say a lease has been nailed down but not signed with the Superdome, and Houston officials say they are close to finishing their lease deal with the Astrodome.
“Everything has been worked out with the Dome,” Vataha said. “All it needs is the final review by the commission and we'd be all set.”
