Why not Baton Rouge???

The attendance at LSU is terrible. You think people are going to support this crap.

redbullwings•65 months

what stadium in Baton Rouge would be used?

Techdog89•65 months

Please, NOT Baton Rouge! I live here and can tell you it wouldn't receive the support they need to make it. If it's going to make it then it needs to stay in very large population centers.

Playing in a baseball stadium in dfw?

MaHittaMaHitta•65 months

Seriously. They could have done much better. Given Dallas proper an actual football team

TOSOV•65 months

MaHitta - I agree, but no stadiums to fit. Would love it to have been the Cotton bowl, but way to big for a start up. Also, bad part of town. Arlington is good from a DFW market, but to much traffic out that way for week day games.

TOSOV•65 months

Ohhh and just heard they are going to repurpose The Ballpark, for this, not the new one being built. So thats nicethey arent going to knock The Ballpark down. Beautiful traditional old school resembling ballpark.

3 leagues in 2020. That’s a lot of players it will be interesting to see if more juniors leave

NFLU7•65 months

Very excited honestly

LSUrme•65 months

The XFL sucked the first time. It was promised to be a no-rules, no hold barred type of thing. Was just bad football with a ton of penalties. I want the human version of NFL Blitz. CTE be damned.

DoubleDown•65 months

Houston, Dallas, LA, NY/NJ, Seattle, Tampa and DC all have NFL teams. The only 1 of the 8 he got right was giving football back to St. Louis. Why not give this to big towns that don't already have NFL teams?! Like Orlando, Portland, San Antonio, etc etc.

TOSOV•65 months

Not sure about others off hand, but APL is going to start out in San Antonio. Perhaps that was a factor

Jorts R Us•65 months

Orlando and San Antonio have the AAF. Maybe that factored into it.

CRDNLSCHMCPSN11•65 months

San Antonio and Orlando already have AAF teams. So it doesn’t make sense to put another team there. But I do agree that cities with no NFL or AAF team should have gotten a team instead.

Mouche337•65 months

Could become a minor league NFL. If they make it more about football and less about the other stuff...

Techdog89•65 months

With McMahon at the helm, how long before it immediately reverts to a wrestling spectacle like the first go around? All of the crazy promotions and cheap, pre-scripted performances catering to the lowest common denominator? It will be the Jerry Springer League in a matter of minutes. McMahon can't help himself because this is all he knows and his ego won't let him do this thing the right way. Doomed from the start.

LSUGoose•65 months

Tampa doesn't support the Bucs, how will they support a minor league team?

JackieTreehorn•65 months

In order to comply with the #MeToo movement there should be a player named She Hate Me.

LSUsince74•65 months

Watch out NFL Lol

cypressbrake3•65 months

Inside information.... Baton Rouge is first in line on the expansion list! Pete Goldsby is going to be the venue and Richard Condom the stadium announcer. Team to be called the B.R. Nutria. The deal is near!

Lsu101205•65 months

Sure why not, worst case scenario it will be an interesting documentary in 5 years on why it failed.

BobABooey•65 months

So freakin’ pumped!

Skinny•65 months

Looking forward to McMahon strutting out to the middle of the field with a mic in his hand before that first kickoff. "Ladies and gentlemen! WELCOME TO THE XF....(shattered glass sound) as Austin tears out to the field on a 4 wheeler.

tketaco•65 months

frick yes Houston getting a XFL Team!

DBcUper•65 months

is that a toupee on McMahon's head?

Balloon Huffer•65 months

He hate me
