Living in Dallas, this is 100% true. Not many people thought it would work when they moved in 1993. But youth hockey has increased rapidly since then and the Stars have opened 8 StarCenters for youth hockey and high school hockey (also gives the DFW area 8 venues for ice skating). It has also led to the Allen Americans of the ECHL.

Man, what two different career paths both he and Jared Goff are having. Goff had one of his best seasons in 2022, after playing well in the last five games of 2021. If Goff repeats in 2023 what he had in 2022 or has even better numbers than he did in 2022 and leads the Lions to a playoff win or two and he's in the MVP conversation for 2023, he's going to get a massive extension.

I think I read somewhere that Union Omaha of USL League One has plans to have their own stadium rather than play at the Omaha Storm Chasers Baseball Stadium forever. Whether it actually happens remains to be seen.

they were scarred from their experience hosting the Raiders 50 years ago: California Memorial Stadium - Wikipedia

because one of the league's owners wanted to put a team in Las Vegas.

He should run the gauntlet of indoor football: IFL, CIF, NAL and Fan Control Football and get benched in all four of those leagues as well.

The XFL should know by now that Paxton Lynch sucks.

It's Tillman Fertitta:

I think Albuquerque will get an MLS team first before they are considered for alternative football.

OKC has no venue at this moment that would host alternative football unless it's Taft Stadium, where the OKC Energy FC of the USL Championship played until they announced that they were on an indefinite hiatus due to field issues. OKC is hoping for the MAPS 4 Stadium to happen by 2026.

The only reason behind Vegas in the XFL is because of Redbird Capital's Gerry Cardinale. He wanted Vegas in the league and he got it.

We're going to get a "Welcome to Wrexham" style series for the Ottawa Senators if Ryan Reynolds buys the team aren't we?

Seeing as how the arena is privately funded, it should pass but who knows.

Inglewood as well with SoFi Stadium and the Clippers new Basketball arena, the Intuit Dome

He's the heir apparent to Ryan Fitzpatrick, but I do think that if there's no interest in him, he'll stay in Philly, because the third QB is...Ian Book. A part of me though wants to see what Minshew can do in the playoffs, and whether Minshew Mania can happen in the playoffs or it becomes a disaster and he crumbles under the post season spotlight. It's a shame we never got to see Fitzpatrick in the playoffs as I would have loved to have seen what he can do in the postseason. Taylor Heinicke is probably going to get more interest than Minshew. Both Minshew and Heinicke are better than the following free agent backups though: Joe Flacco, Mason Rudolph, Kyle Allen, Jeff Driskel, David Blough, Tim Boyle (one of the worst backups out there but keeps getting NFL interest because allegedly, he's great at film study in the QB Room), Nathan Peterman (also one of the worst backups out there), Nate Sudfeld, Blaine Gabbert, John Wolford and Drew Lock. But it will be a surprise if any one of those guys get more interest than Minshew.

I think MLS is in preseason.

The XFL has no local radio deals for any of their teams, and none of the teams have any cheerleaders or mascots either. The USFL had mascots.
