UFL Betting Signs Deal with StubHub

UFL betting has the league signing a deal with StubHub, a web site that allows fans to buy and sell tickets.

If you are looking at UFL odds this season you may notice that StubHub is getting a lot of publicity since they will get on the field and on the helmet exposure.

UFL betting has the league starting its first season with four teams. Each of the teams will have some sort of agreement in place that allows StubHub to advertise on the field and on helmets. It may not be long before the players have the logos on their uniforms as well. If that sounds weird, it shouldn’t. NASCAR already does it, soccer does it, stadiums do it all the time; and now jerseys and helmets will have it.

UFL betting should get attention anyway but the addition of StubHub sure doesn’t hurt. Other leagues like MLB and the WNBA have looked at having jerseys with sponsors on them. Soccer teams in Europe have the logos all over the jerseys.

UFL betting also indicates that StubHub will have secondary rights for ticketing. That means the teams in Las Vegas, Orlando, New York and San Francisco will get some attention from StubHub. The league plans to double in size in 2010 so that means even more action for StubHub. "When seeking foundation partners for the UFL, we were looking for companies who wanted to take an integrated and innovative approach with us, and StubHub more than fits this criteria," said Frank Vuono, chief operating officer of the UFL.

You will notice StubHub on the front of the Florida Tuskers’ helmet and you will also notice StubHub commercials on Versus and HDNet telecasts. The UFL will be featured on StubHub’s website. "The UFL presents a unique and compelling opportunity for us to reach out to a new fan base in a very prominent fashion," said Danielle Maged, Head of Partnerships for StubHub. "The league offers an affordable and quality football product at a time fans are faced with difficult choices. This partnership is a natural extension of our involvement with all sports teams and leagues, and brings strong brand visibility and growth opportunity."

UFL betting begins with the first week of UFL odds action on October 8th. StubHub will get immediate exposure as the opening game is televised on Versus. There will be two games each week in UFL betting although not always on the same day. The four teams in UFL odds are the Florida Tuskers, California Redwoods, Las Vegas Locomotives and New York Sentinels. The UFL betting season will conclude with the Championship game in UFL odds on November 27th from Las Vegas.
