What Daily Memphians think*
“So glad we hung on to the obsolete and shuttered Mid-South Coliseum instead of replacing it with a modern soccer/multi-use stadium and keeping two additional sports teams in town. Way to look to the future. SMH.” — Richard Morrison about UFL makes Showboats' exit from Memphis official, explains reasoning
“Night court? What about full day of court? Go to 201 Poplar and take the escalator down to the General Sessions courts at 2:30 in the afternoon. It is mostly empty. A solution would be to have two sessions every day: one that began PROMPTLY at 9:00 and another at 1:30 in the afternoon. You could make room for the additional arrests and ease the morning crowding.” — Baron Wilkes about Opinion: Memphis needs night court
“They were never a Memphis team anyway. They practiced somewhere else, lived somewhere else, and just flew in for the game, never making any effort to connect with the Memphis community.” — Patricia Corbitt about UFL makes Showboats' exit from Memphis official, explains reasoning
