Agree.
But I would have not went anywhere that has an NFL Team. San Antonio, Austin, San Diago, Oklahoma City, St. Louis, Denver, Oakland... Hahahahah |

Yeah, kind of a weird move to go to NFL markets, even if the games aren't directly competing. St. Louis is smart, but why not put the rest of the teams in markets where the XFL might scratch an itch?

This is straight up idiotic. Seems he's revolving his entire pitch around a political platform.

XFL playing in nfl stadiums is dumb. It's going to look awful with 10k or less fans in a 70k stadium

I'm dumbfounded by the approach. There are tons of markets way too small for the NFL but still big enough for a major sports presence. The xfl should be in every market with tons of college football allegiance but no NFL team. Austin, or San Antonio Des moines, Columbus, Omaha, Portland, Orlando, Birmingham. Stack those teams with local college football heroes who barely missed the NFL cut. San Antonio and Orlando, to no surprise, were pulling in 20-30k fans for the AAF. The MLS is a very profitable league and for year 1, those numbers are already better than a lot of MLS markets.

Alternate football leagues are a strange phenomenon. It seems like they should succeed based on interest in the sport, and they always fail.
As mentioned, I do think the key is to avoid NFL cities, settle in midsized markets, and try to get a small television contract to fill any revenue gap. I think the problem is that everyone tries to go big, and that niche is already filled.
