GDAWG Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 4 hours ago, Gothamite said: An 80,000 seat stadium? Ugh. Even Yankee Stadium’s 55K seems ludicrously high. The Cyclones’ park in Brooklyn would be more realistic to start. Vince McMahon is the type of guy who wants the XFL to play in large stadiums rather than one that seats 7,000 like Brooklyn. His ego won't allow an XFL team to play in a stadium as small as MCU Stadium in Brooklyn. Seattle? If they go small, it'll be this stadium: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_Stadium_(Seattle) but instead it's probably either Husky Stadium or Century Link Field. Seattle may be a mistake move for the XFL because of the fact that the announcement of a Seattle XFL team will be overshadowed by the arrival of an NHL team. Plus the Mariners.

Burmy Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I'd actually guess that a NY/NJ team may play at Rutgers' stadium...biggest non-NFL/MLB outdoor stadium in NY/NJ, and it's about time we saw some winning football played there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wings Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 It's Vince. He doesn't do things small. I'll take a stab at it: Chicago Houston Los Angeles New York Orlando (They''ll play at Camping World Stadium while the AAF Apollos play at Spectrum Stadium (UCF) San Jose/Santa Clara Seattle St. Louis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideRight Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 My guess is that McMahon's ego will push him to make the same mistake so many leagues make, seting up shop in the most expensive, most sports-saturated markets and then struggling to get any media coverage in those cities. He should avoid NY, LA, Chicago, etc. and place teams in markets where they might actually be appreciated, supported and covered by local media. Were I him, I would start with these 8: Portland Sacramento Albuquerque St. Louis Louisville New Orleans Orlando Hartford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzcut Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Looks like the 8 cities will come from this list: He also has Seattle as a listed city. He didn't have room in his initial post. He also missed Minnesota, but the following link has them listed: https://domainnamewire.com/2018/11/30/xfl-cities/ The CCSLC's resident Geelong Cats fan. Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends.

We keep hearing that he's learned from his past failure and won't make the same ego-driven mistakes again. Putting his minor-league startup team in an 80,000-seat stadium would be the equal of any mistake he made with XFL 1.0. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

FC Dallas and the Dallas Wings of the WNBA barely get any coverage as is and if they do, it's at a time when nothing of any significance is going on with the Cowboys, Rangers, Mavericks and Stars. If the XFL were to go to Texas, Houston may be a better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAF got Atlanta and Phoenix, but they also have the usual go-to-cities for Alternate leagues such as Birmingham, Memphis, Orlando and San Antonio.
