I would have just gave the teams nicknames and just play games in select cities, like Roller Derby used to.
You can choose one of them to represent the city/stadium they're playing in to give the paying customers something to cheer for. Make the other one the "big bad" you hope gets the shit clobbered out of them.

If I were of the XFL braintrust (An oxymoron) and realized the AAF were setting up shop south of the Mason-Dixon Line, I’d make an effort to set up in the North and try and get cities not represented by the NFL, such as: Scranton, PA Columbus, OH Oklahoma City, OK (The only southern city the AAF didn’t get their hands on.) Oakland, CA (The Raiders would be in Vegas by the team the hypothetical team stepped in.) Portland, OR (An alternative for Seattle) They did get it right with St. Louis. And they would have to get a major northeast city like Boston, NY, or DC along with either LA or Chicago.

But I don’t know what size stadium they are going for and that could be the issue. Portland state university uses the same building the timber use and that seats 22,000 which seems pretty large for the xfl

Ebersol's son pretty much strangled this league in the womb, but of course Vince insists on throwing money away at it anyway...

Tampa Bay over Orlando is just plain stupid. Tampa’s actual NFL team is so desperate to fill seats they’re letting season ticket holders bring guests for free. Literally the only reason to pick Tampa over Orlando is to avoid accusations of favoritism. The reason is because Raymond James Stadium is an NFL stadium and Camping World Stadium is not very modern at all.

Yeah, I'm not sure how well this gonna go down. I think the AAF will last a little longer than the Zombie XFL, if the XFL even gets off the ground.
If they do, I guess I'll root for Dallas (Cowboys fan) or DC (sister lives in DC).

They went with the cities without NFL teams, last time, and it failed. So, I guess the thinking is just to be in as big of cities as possible. It’s not going to work. But I’d bet that’s the idea.

It is mind boggling to me that they didn’t pick cities that are without an NFL team (except St Louis). Established college strongholds who don’t have the pro team could have been ideal, like somewhere in Oklahoma and somewhere in Alabama for instance. To do two cities in Texas and not do San Antonio is baffling. This is supposed to be an alternative to the NFL and the only way it will be is if it differentiates itself and goes after a fan base who are not already loyal to one team. This just seems such a mistake. It's Vince's ego talking

I still remain convinced this Shitshow is only going to happen, because Vinces Buddy asked him to make it happen.
Nothing about it makes any Sense.

This almost seems like a tax shelter or money laundering scheme of some sort. There almost has to be some reason to burn this much cash on what's guaranteed to fail.

I’ll give it a shot. If the leaked cities are accurate I have a somewhat close team in D.C.(live in Delaware). Football is football. Sometimes it’s difficult to determine bad from good. If you have two bad teams playing each other it can look like a great game, often times plays like a great game. It’s definitely better than a blowout(leave out favoritism bias). Also it’s a spring league, football during the offseason. Why not give it a shot if in the vicinity?

Seattle isn't the worst choice, as with KC. You need cities that aren't going to have other things going on in Feb/Mar so that maybe just maybe you catch on. But if you're in LOS ANGELES, why in the world would you go to an XFL game when the Lakers and Kings, UCLA and that's not even mentioning the 1,000 other better things there are to do in that city. Same with NY. They think it's a good idea because the market is just too huge, but why would you want to be 19th on the pecking order when you could be in a smaller market and open to being relevent even maybe if you're not a complete shitshow. Which it will be.

I'm down as long as they have random fans call plays via an XFL app on their phones.

Are there fans desperate enough to watch live fourth rate football games? Let me put it this way. I've travelled from the UK to the US and Canada to watch NFL, College Football, NBA, MLB and even some CFL. But If Vince ever decides to do what the NFL, NBA and MLB does and brings an XFL game over to the UK, I can assure you I will not be attending...I wouldn't even look out of my window if an XFL game was played in my garden!

Depending on the ticket prices, I might try and make it to a game. Hell, by that point they might be desperate enough that I could make the team, lol. The important question is what your jersey nickname is going to be.
