Awesome! Now let's get a marketing team and front office staff for each team in place by August. Start selling season tickets and local sponsorships by Labor Day. Teams should be shooting for 5k season ticket holders and $2 million in local sponsors per market.

Los Angeles, New York and Tampa aren't likely to return. Tampa is likely Orlando, so it will be interesting to see who replaces LA and New York.

If he’s saying St. Louis will be announced June 1st that is great. Should we assume all teams will be announced that day? Would that be an assumption?

Getting even one team announced will be good, they may string them out over weeks to get more media attention. If they pass up NFL/NBA less STlouis after 2020 (with not rebranding) that would be silly I think. Dome, Best locale crowds, about 1% HH neilsen, central location... its pretty no brainer. Especially if they move out of NY/LA/TB

Hopefully if it's all 8 cities, ESPN will have a segment on it on June 1st rather than spending most of their times talking about the NFL releases that are expected to happen that day.

It’s just that St. Louis is the low hanging fruit, and it might be easy to announce it sooner than later. They have a stadium deal, as already rumored, and St. Louis was the most successful market in 2020, so of course they will return there.

I bet other city announcements take a little longer.

Definitely. There's no rule that you have to do them all at once. AAF did them one at a time.

XFL 2001 did them one at a time, and their timeline was similar to XFL 2023. Mind you, in 2001 there was at least one foible where they announced San Jose but the stadium deal collapsed and the league switched to San Francisco PAC Bell Park. Karma paid them back for this change by crashing their blimp into Oakland. 😂

I would not be surprised to see a series of team announcements, either individually or in batches. Keep in mind I have no solid info on this. I am guessing.

Didn't they also originally announce Washington DC and Miami?
