UFL will pull plug on Birmingham Stallions

Say goodbye to the Birmingham Stallions.

Via Roy S. Johnson of AL.com, the UFL will announce on Thursday that the Birmingham Stallions will cease operations.

"They said the stadium didn't provide the atmosphere they were seeking and did not fit in their business model," Jimmie Stephens, chair of the Jefferson County Commission, told Johnson. "I'm disappointed that their business model did not fit a state-of-the-art, brand new stadium, which would accommodate whatever they needed, including future growth. It bothers me."
