Matthew24 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Just now, GDAWG said: Orlando and San Antonio did well in the AAF. I could see them in the XFL, but it sounds like if the XFL expands again, they will expand to the Midwest and the Bay Area. Orlando could support an NFL team, but we don't need a 4th Florida team in the NFL. Probably if Jacksonville Jaguars moves to London, if that ever happens? Texas can hold three NFL teams. Plus I do agree, Midwest to Bay Area would be a smart call but Orlando and San Antonio ( like the other two) got screwed by the AAF and other leagues. I think it would be fair that the NFL trys giving a franchise to Orlando and San Antonio.

Out of all of the leagues proposed, the XFL is the only one doing something. The rest have been silent, some of them for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting for the Patriot Football League to announced their last team. Honestly want to just get ready to laugh at who they choose to be their victim. FFL doesn't have anything going for them. At least I can enjoy XFL 2.0 and hope they will last this time.

The American Patriot League hasn't announced anything since March. As for the FFL, I heard that they need $150 million to actually kick off for 2020. The problem is that there's nobody that the FFL has announced at this point who has $150 million to waste. Vince McMahon has the money for the XFL to last three years. He did that by selling off WWE stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No indication that the XFL has any interest in the intellectual property of the league. I'll post the link for the filing again, but it seems that Alpha/XFL wants the items listed on pages 42-45 http://www.techresource.group/files/aaf7.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumptious Ham Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 What makes yall think 20k is nfl worthy attendance?! That's crazy. It took Jacksonville 70k+ in the USFL to be considered for the NFL. Every single aaf market sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Antonio would have been over 30,000 which was 5,000-15,000 above the initial expectations of gameday attendance depending on statements made prior to the season.

If I had one issue, its that we spent too much on cameras and other things. No need for a 4K camera when all you'r coach's film is uploaded in 720.

If the business never paid any vendor for months, you* "spent too much" on basically EVERYTHING. No need to pick nits on cameras as you never paid for food, lodging or transportation. *- If you're going to use "we", then I will include "you" in the demise.

No league that states they are subsidiary to the NFL wil get NFL numbers Exactly. You're exactly right. That's why Orlando getting the bare minimum of attendance the league needed to survive is not special. No market showed nfl potential. Not one. It takes 70k, despite everything you said, for the NFL to notice. AKA, you must be special. The was nothing special about orlando or San Antonio. To suggest to move an NFL team to make room for Orlando has to be the dumbest thing I've ever read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A city bringing in 30,000 for minor league football and which packed the stadium for Cowboy preseason and Saints games after Katrina should be in consideration. San Antonio's biggest problem isn't filling a stadium, it's getting Houston and Dallas to decide a team in San Antonio is better for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck getting Jerry Jones to agree to that, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Keep in mind how ludicrously inflated those attendance numbers were, though. Cut most of them in half, or a third, or even smaller.

I’d be shocked if they weren’t; Ebersol didn’t pay anyone who was dumb enough to not insist on payment up front. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Scrumptious Ham Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Goth hit it on the head. You can tell who has a sports business acumen on here and who dont. Here is a big red flag. "Wouldn't it be kewl if they moved Jacksonville to make room for Orlando". Why Jacksonville? Lazy people say that with no idea what's going on. Did you know the Jacksonville franchise is valued higher than, Detroit, New Orleans, Tennessee, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Cleveland and a franchise in Florida called the Bucs. What makes you think that they are in financial trouble? I just used Jacksonville because they were brought up. Truth is, there is no NFL city that deserves to lose their team for the sake of Orlando or San Antonio. There is no evidence that those markets are stronger than any other current nfl market. Why would any AAF stat make you think that they are worth more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're taking place in league cities but they're tryouts by invitation. https://xflboard.com/news/2019/05/19/details-revealed-for-xfl-summer-showcase-tryouts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
