The attendance in Tampa next week is going to be bad. Hopefully people were too busy watching the Lightning to see how bad the Vipers are. Tickets are already sold. Remember that "Tickets Distributed" will be given to the media and thus a FOIA on the fees received by the Tampa Sports Authority will be the key to what was sold.

Will the LA Wildcats have higher attendance than the Chargers? I would not think so, because it's the XFL and if that stadium is full of NFL fans, its for the other team but who knows. Damn, SoFi is going to be empty when the Chargers play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visiting or transplant fans, like Raiders and KC will fill up SoFi. Trust me as I will. They also host the Jets and the Patriots. Add the Chargers to make at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDAWG Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 It will be interesting to see the attendance figures for Seattle and St. Louis for the remaining 4 home games as the attendance was pretty good for Seattle and St. Louis expected to fill out the lower bowl at the Dome.

GDAWG Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Watching these XFL games, are you surprised at the number of NFL mentions the announcers make? I know that ESPN and Fox are TV partners of the NFL, but there were a lot of references made today to the NFL in both games. I suspect that there will be more tomorrow.

I think it’s a given that it was going to happen. They want to explain there are former NFL players and not John Doe from the streets who played HS Football. It’s no different than in NFL games then talking about what college the players went to. In terms of the rules of game and how things work it’s easier to explain it using what they (the viewer) knows as a point of reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comped means free tickets. If 29k were there, but 10k were comped, it paints a different picture. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with tickets comped, the people still have to go. The other big 4 leagues comp tickets too To meet black out rules and such, and to just appear more full, but people still got to show up. The marina comp tickets yet barely get 5k people to show up to games, so the XFL’s atleast doing better than them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how it works now, but back in 80s if eagles were getting blacked out, the local tv station would buy the remaining tix and then maybe come those... but they were technically sold.

Sykotyk Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 15 hours ago, GDAWG said: The clock stopping after every first down following the two minute warning doesn't make the game shorter. The clock stops on every play until 5 seconds after the ball is spotted and the play clock starts. It stays stopped got incomplete and out of bounds plays. 12 hours ago, MJWalker45 said: I think the intent is to let the QB get composure instead of rushing up to the line. Fox broke out cartoon picture for Silvers and had player headshots for some, but not all players for scoring plays. Is to prevent teams from milking the clock by taking time to unravel a scrum to get the ball and get it set. But with the dedicated ball spotter, the clock will usually start pretty quickly.

DCarp1231 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I wonder who’s gonna have a better pick-six average at season’s end, the Defenders Defense or Brandon Silvers? We’re already at two each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
