BC985 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 The shorter play clock is a noticeable positive game changer. I’ve only watched the 4th of NY/TB, but I like what I saw. I hope the XFL is successful. I think there’s a place for this league in the current sports landscape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Comet Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 And now to watch my team: The St. Louis Battlehawks. Again, might have to go buy a couple tickets now. Especially after watching the product not be nearly as rough as I thought it would. It's still not NFL quality. At all. But I'll spend a bit of money to watch a game with a friend.

It's reminding me a bit of Georgia State Frankensteining Turner Field into a football stadium and a bit of Candlestick Park. It's better than just immediately demolishing it but dang it looks bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globe Life could have been used as a concert venue to be used for tailgating and pre game concerts for Rangers and Cowboys games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmaker17 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 There’s a huge entertainment district between the Cowboys and Rangers stadiums already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Wolf Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 3 hours ago, MBurmy said: With the success of the Defenders and how empty the Roughnecks and Guardians crowds looked, I honestly think that the MLS stadiums are going to be the norm for XFL teams going forward (with the exceptions of the BattleHawks, the Dragons, the Wildcats if they move to San Diego, and a potential San Antonio team). Honestly, I was kind of shocked at how good both of those looked. Maybe it's just because of how empty the Liberty Bowl, Legion Field, and Rice-Eccles were for the AAF, but the lower bowls were pretty well occupied for Houston and New York. At least more than I would have expected. 18 minutes ago, Red Comet said: It's reminding me a bit of Georgia State Frankensteining Turner Field into a football stadium and a bit of Candlestick Park. It's better than just immediately demolishing it but dang it looks bizarre. Georgia State's setup looks a lot better, but they also did a lot more work to change things around. Georgia State's new setup also looks (and sounds) better than when GSU had tens of people at the Georgia Dome. Sidenote: glad you swapped back to a Char avatar so I don't have to see too much Chiefs stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more than the AAF outside of San Antonio. Eh, never was going to be longer or shorter than a week. I fully expect you to do something similar when the Broncos win another Super Bowl and I wouldn't blame ya at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you're more likely to find people who know how to sell football in NFL markets (and one recently vacated one) than outside of an NFL market. Makes sense that they'd sell more tickets too, especially with St. Louis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did not open the whole stadium. And that’s about what early MLS teams were getting in NFL stadiums. It also about the average for all 3 games. So it’s a good number.
