Re: XFL expansion
Right now Houston should be focusing on supporting one.

Re: XFL expansion
If not for the weather, Cincinnati would make a great XFL market. In addition to the MLS stadium, there's also Nippert Stadium, which the Bearcats football team uses. Plus, there's no NBA nor NHL team there, so the market is essentially all to themselves.Tank55 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 6:05 pmWhen you narrow it to soccer specific stadium + NFL city + inside the city's core, the list is a lot shorter. FC Cincinnati and LAFC, maybe?GDAWG wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 4:24 pm Quite a few of them in the MLS:

But I do think more broadly, there's a lot of room to run here. There's an entire fleet of perfectly sized XFL stadiums being built for MLS teams across the country.

Re: XFL expansion
I don't think the USFL is going to try for Texas as long as the XFL exists. The XFL has staked that state off pretty heavily and I can see them putting one of their teams in Austin just to stave anything off.
I think they'll scrap the Gamblers and re-establish the Tampa Bay Bandits before they try another Texas team.

Re: XFL expansion
why do i support them? because i didn't know that XFL3 would draw half the TV ratings and half the attendance of XFL2MGB01 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 11:28 amSo why BH then?BattleHawks wrote: ↑Thu Mar 02, 2023 11:58 pm lol at anyone who thinks this league will survive at all, let alone expand

Re: XFL expansion
Sure there is. Time and patience will make the league succeed. The XFL had done about a quarter of the marketing of 2.0 and using the pseudo hub to save money. Even with all these caveats, they're still drawing basically what XFL 2.0 drew near the end on a smaller budget. Now if ratings and attendance don't improve by season 3, I may start worrying a bit as well. As of now, we're barely out of the first inning in the whole scheme of things.BattleHawks wrote: ↑Sat Mar 04, 2023 12:08 amwhy do i support them? because i didn't know that XFL3 would draw half the TV ratings and half the attendance of XFL2MGB01 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 11:28 amSo why BH then?BattleHawks wrote: ↑Thu Mar 02, 2023 11:58 pm lol at anyone who thinks this league will survive at all, let alone expand

Re: XFL expansion
As long as RedBull Capital is open to losing money and Gerry Cardinale doesn't get "I want an NFL team" envy, the XFL should last at least 2 seasons.

Re: XFL expansion
Oh let's just go crazy and suggest Lambeau Field.
You could set it up so the lowest 35,000 seats in the bowl are available....tarp the rest so it doesn't look massive....nobody uses it in spring....the people there have football in their blood. Just throwing that thought out there.

I actually bet the USFL would do great at Lambeau.Sounder wrote: ↑Sat Mar 04, 2023 12:52 pm Oh let's just go crazy and suggest Lambeau Field.
