    From the press release it seems they are going to stagger the info on teams all throughout this year plus there will probably be a draft next summer so that will bring new discussion every couple months I’m not worried.

    Where do you think the teams will be located?

    I’m thinking:
    Orlando, Birmingham, Richmond, Hartford (East)
    San Antonio, San Diego, OKC, Des Moines (West)

    Vince is taking this very seriously. He isn't f---ing around at all 2 years is the perfect time to consult experts throughout the industry, media and Guage fan interest. He claims they are gonna make the game more fast pace with less theatrics. So the way the old XFL was played is definitely not how this is going down. The markets they debut in will no doubt be big ones. Im thinking Oakland/San Diego, Pittsburgh, Boston/New England, New Orleans, New York (or Jersey), Dallas, somewhere in Connecticut (Vince resides there), and maybe one team in Canada probably in Toronto or Vancouver.

    Man I have no idea where the teams would be located, but San Diego like you mentioned would be a smart choice, as would Oakland and St. Louis. To me it'd make sense to take advantage of the fact that those cities lost teams recently (or in Oakland's case, will be losing a team shortly) so fan bases there would probably be excited about getting a team back even if it's in the XFL.

    But yea any fairly big market without a team nearby would work, I live in the Portland area and the closest team is Seattle(about 3 and half hours away), there's a lot of loyal sports fans here and the soccer and basketball teams get a ton of support so I think that'd work. But who knows what they're considering.

    The 30 for 30 XFL episode was better than the actual XFL season.

    Would you guys pay decent $$ to go to an XFL game live? Personally I wouldn't, tickets would have to be 20-30 dollars or less for me to go, even then I'm not sure at least in the early stages..Maybe later if I get into it i'd consider paying 50-100 or whatever.

    You honestly think an XFL thread will be active with news for 2 years? Good luck lol, not even trying to knock ya or anything, just can't see it.

    But it's all good, can always bump the thread later on anyways so doesn't really matter, just a random observation on my part. Not sure if any threads made it 2 years actually unless it's a chat thread or official thread for a sports league or something, which yes this is too...but it's not a sports league that's active or even really has a fan base on here at this point.

    No way this thread even makes it to 2019 tbh, gonna be on page 50(if s80 even exists) by 2020.

    Anyways like I said in the WWE thread I'm not too confident this will go well, doubt it lasts more than a year or so. Keeping out Manziel and Kaep may be a bad business move too as those guys would draw attention and viewers to the product..

    But @Gloku did bring up some good points about how it could work long term if they go this route, I'll just post his post here..

    The draft system would definitely be intriguing if they eventually go that route.
