I am not shocked. They did a great job of getting on some major networks and promoting it through NFL indirectly.
They used week 1 to do a great job of saturating the market as well.
They were smart to make a short season to not lose too much fan interest by the time their championship game comes around. Then they will have the LONG offseason and some from the NFL to poach some of their talent. This sill make it very tough to build a following as the rosters will turn over a lot.
The couple of games that I did see had pretty poor attendance (saw some upper decks completely empty). They need to right size their stadiums like soccer did to give a better appearance.
