The sparsely attended game saw the Showboats suffer a disappointing loss, raising questions about the disconnect between the UFL and the community. Johnston expressed the need to analyze and improve the relationship with the Memphis community to boost attendance, as the league aims to address the challenges of spring football as a made-for-TV product.
