Ernie Johnson (UPN Sports anchor)
"Talk to us about the stadium situations that have been resolved so far. Like for instance how you've managed to avoid relocation for the Philadelphia Stars, whose attendance has been in a downward slope since the Eagles hired Andy Reid a decade ago."
Oliver Luck (WLAF Commissioner)
"While Lincoln Financial Field is a more modern venue, we looked to the past to secure the Stars' future in Philly. We have been able to get the Stars situated at historic Franklin Field full time, starting next year."
Luck (continued)
"As for the Los Angeles Avengers, whose previous venue Amblin Field in Chavez Ravine is being refurbished, we have found that the Home Depot Center in Carson with its smaller seating capacity has actually worked to that franchise's benefit. Every Avenger home game this past year was sold out."
"The former Rocky Mountain Extreme, who will become the Utah Avalanche next year...will leave Rice-Eccles Stadium for Rio Tinto Stadium next year, joining the Highlanders of Major League Soccer."
