GDAWG Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Before all of this merger talk, the USFL had been considering moving the Breakers to actual New Orleans with the two main options being Yulman Stadium and the smaller Shrine on Airline. If they were to go with the latter, it would be like Vegas and Cashman Field in the XFL. Superdome wasn't an option (for obvious reasons) and neither was Tad Gormley Stadium.

raz Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 I gotta think that one way or another the Maulers will survive, even if they're sharing the Canton hub. They're relatively close and they did win the championship. But what do I know?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think hubs have to be off the plate based on the amount of money that has to be paid back to fans because all of the XFL fans have paid their season tickets completely. All right then, if six from the X are selling, plus the Stallions, Showboats, and Canton Pennsylvanians, then maybe we're getting a 10-team league with all home markets, and the Houston Roughblers as your tenth?

McCall Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 22 hours ago, Sodboy13 said: So... Canton Birmingham Memphis St. Louis San Antonio Houston Arlington And one more? Also consider that they might be doing four hubs again, with Arlington as your fourth. That would screw St. Louis, but this entity has never been about the in-person fans, so why start now? No way in hell the Battlehawks aren't playing in St. Louis, either as a single-home team or as a hub city. 2 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't think they have a stadium in Houston locked down. It's believed, and maybe agreed to in principal that they'd play at Rice, but I haven't seen anything official. If they go hubs it may make more sense to put them in like San Antonio for now until they go away from hubs and TDECU is available again. I don't think they'd have 3 Texas hubs anyway.
