Your welcome.

We are going to see what the league looks like by seasons end. Drawing 7,000 (reported 11k) for a home opener in a 60,000 seat stadium in Memphis does not lend itself to a money making league. They are probably not spending a lot of money on in city advertising.

I've heard a lot of criticism that the AAF is doing an awful job marketing their league. I hope the XFL learns from this and does a much better job so they never get under 15k at a game.

Of all the reasons for concern with the XFL, I don't think the hype machine is one of them. Don't worry about them getting the word out.

True, true. That's not a reason of concern when you have Vince McMahon around...
