XFL schedule just dropped

Getting ABC is big but only 7 games on ABC out of 10 weeks is an L, they should've did everything in their power to have atleast 1 ABC game a week

Twitter brought up a good point that having the battlehawks start the season with 3 road games is also a logistics failure since they were the most successful XFL franchise last time around. They should've been hosting the season opener on ABC in week 1

Yeah the USFL got the better TV contract :hubie: Having 14 games on FX and a playoff game on ESPN 2 is a L …… the dome is booked for the first 3 weeks of the season at least that’s what I saw on twitter

I agree, but the Roughnecks went 6 (or 7) and 0 beating every team in the league once and was about to sweep the season before Covid blew everything up.

As someone who actually had season tickets to the first version of the league, count me in.

Interesting that they pulled teams outta LA and NYC, but likely makes way more financial sense.

How? Those are cities with easy access to team amenities for cheaper than smaller cities. I guess having to pay those players might have cost more because of COI but it wouldn’t be much different I’m assuming. The best players I think were only clipping about $300k iirc

There’s gotta be useable college stadiums in the area they can use. Even if it means going to Syracuse or some cousin fk country stadium in NY to draw in some bills and Toronto fans.
