mkg74 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Next week. The league will be lucky to draw 50,000 total. And that would have to be considered a success. Just like week 4 drawing 70K It sucks LA and NY can’t relocate because of TV contract politics. In a perfect world though my relocation for next season would look like this: NY to Columbus LA to SD Dallas to San Antonio Tampa Bay to Orlando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course if that happens it would only make sense for the team to have yellow in their paint scheme. Columbus Generals has a nice ring to it. Goes well with the Blue Jackets and instead of the Zouave look, they could do the Union Calvary look. I like the sound of Columbus Cavalry.

I wouldn't be surprised if BattleHawks get another sell out for this one.

With the ESPN affiliation they could set up a smaller temp stadium type thing at the ESPN Wide World of Sports thing and get people to go just because its at Disney World. San Antonio can work if they get St Louis and Seattle type crowds to go to the Alamodome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC will be interesting now that they have lost two straight. LA I expect a decline. They had 17,000 their first game, second game had 12,000.

In a perfect world though my relocation for next season would look like this: NY to Columbus LA to SD Dallas to San Antonio Tampa Bay to Orlando San Diego would have been a perfect place for an XFL team. Such a team might have received a welcome as warm as St. Louis's team has gotten. This might also be a rationale for the league to put an expansion team in Oakland. The Oakland Demons, with the logo and uniforms of the original XFL's San Francisco Demons, could be a big hit. San Antonio would also be a great expansion location. And it is another case in which the XFL would do well to revive an earlier team's identity. A return of the Commanders would probably be greeted very enthusiastically. Tampa Bay gave good support to the USFL's Bandits and to the Arena Football League's Storm. So perhaps the attendance for the Vipers will turn around once the early-season bad buzz wears off. Though that team will never fill that stadium — just as the Guardians will never fill the huge Meadowlands stadium. The Guardians don't need to leave the New York area. Rather, McMahon needs to spend his money more wisely. Instead of paying for the use of the Meadowlands stadium (in effect, paying for bad publicity), he should direct some of that big money towards one of the local colleges, as discussed in earlier pages. Or else just overwhelm Red Bull with a gigantic offer that will force them to alter their policy of not allowing American football in Red Bull Arena. Everyone has his or her price.

The XFL 2.0 put teams in LA and New York, two locales that had XFL 1.0 teams. The Xtreme and Hitmen identities were not revived. I don't think the new XFL has any interest in reviving the identities of old XFL teams.

Would be cool to see a team there called the Spartans. Pay homage to the Portsmouth Spartans who became the Lions.
