BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — The goal to bring the United States Football League to Birmingham for 2022 is another step closer to reality after a vote from the city council Tuesday. City leaders approved a resolution to allow the city and Birmingham Park and Recreation Board to execute an agreement with the USFL league to provide services to the USFL that do not exceed $500,000.

Under the agreement, the city would allow the league to use Legion Field, personnel, police, fire, and rescue for the new league.

It can’t get much more official than this: although the @usfl has not formally confirmed its commitment to playing its inaugural season in Birmingham this spring, one sign downtown is pretty clear. #BirminghamStallions pic.twitter.com/kYfHjfbjSI
