Yeah. A NFL minor league would be unwieldy without ticket revenue. They gave the World League/NFL Europe a shot with the hope that expats and curious locals would show up and it didn't work out. I don't even think that many World League/NFL Europa alums made it over to the NFL. Our Chris Barclay played a season over there.
One model the NFL could use that could work for some teams is to host a minor league team at their training camp facility. That would address the facility issues. They could add temporary stands for fans. Not all teams have a separate practice facility but that would be a way to start. I think you could have 16 teams with two teams each sharing facilities.
