GNU_Linux Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Let'd hope this lasts longer than last seasons ill fated AAF at least & the original XFL attitude era WWF experiment. 8 teams across 2 divisions playing a 10 game schedule with top two from each going to the playoffs. First season runs from 8th Febuary to XFL Championship game on 26th April. Should be names you'll recognize on both playing & coaching staff. Western Conference Dallas Renegades (Globe Life Park in Arlington)Houston Roughnecks (TDECU Stadium)LA Wildcats (Dignity Sports Health Park)Seattle Dragons (Century Link Field) Eastern Conference DC Defenders (Audi Field)NY Guardians (MetLife Stadium)St. Louis Battlehawks (The Dome@America's Center)Tampa Bay Vipers (Raymond James Stadium) Only one market without an NFL team but probably playing it safe before venturing into other markets sans an NFL team. The main standout thing about the XFL is the alterations to the ruleset which are explained below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDD6OtNUzig Media coverage wise it's split between Fox Sports, ABC & ESPN with the latter having championship game rights. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrpaddyx Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 As long as they know their limitations, it might last a bit longer than the previous version. Remove any reference to WWE for a start! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumpweed Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Battlehawks for me purely based on the badge. Are there any "stars" or top ex-NFL players playing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountyFan Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I think they missed a trick going to NFL cities. Surely the best way is with cities starved of an NFL team. Toronto, San Diego, Austin and Portland would have been top of my list. Supposedly ticket sales in st louis are miles ahead of everywhere else and I dont think that's a coincidence. Let's go Battlehawks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash flow issues usually kill these new start leagues so corporate facilities are an absolute must. St. Louis still has an NFL level stadium from when the Rams played there. Globe Life park has MLB level facilities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
