It all kicks off in early 2020!
Which 8 U.S. cities would you pick to host #XFL teams and why?

1. El Paso (700k pop, Sun Bowl, Recruit: UTEP, TX High Schools) 2. Fort Worth (1 mil pop, multiple stadiums, Recruit: TCU, TX High Schools) 3. St. Louis (2 mil pop, Edward Jones Dome, Recruit: Mizzou & Illini) 4. Orlando (2 mil pop, multiple stadiums, Recruit: UCF)

Why would you not include San Antonio? Close to Austin (UT) & driveable from Houston, 31st TV market. And how about San Jose, in the 6th largest market? I still think Portland fits

All of those that you mentioned would be great, I think! My thought process was based around a market need/want for local pro football, college infrastructure for facilities, and population to support. Also, I tapped out after four suggestions. Haha

I would love to see a team that is almost 100% Poly.

You don’t recruit local HS players for pro football. Players are drafted from the college ranks nationally

Thats certainly how the established NFL spreads their incoming talent pool. A startup league holding a draft w/8 empty rosters would be complicated. Local teams w/local talent to fill rosters might be a good first step for Year #1. Lot of good HS players w/bad grades & no options

National ratings will come if the play is high quality or the personalities are attractive. You have to get consistent local support first to fill the stadium and look good on TV. Major markets are more fickle about their teams because they have more options to spend their money.

I noticed that too, I think they could still compete if the XFL is a more attractive brand overall, with higher profile players. There are a couple soccer stadiums there too, I think
