Yeah now it just looks like such a lower level of football after the NFL season concluded but give me some time in the early summer or something when ANY football looks fun.

Arizona plays in a dome, too.
The new Rangers park has a retractable roof.
The only open-air Southeastern/Southwestern baseball team is Atlanta.
I heard the Rangers were building one, I just hadn't heard it had been completed yet.
They start play at the new one this season.
The old one is now, ironically, the Renegades' stadium.

I was aware of that. Saw a game there once. It actually is a nice stadium. But yeah, playing baseball in a non-roofed stadium in north central Texas during the summer isn't ideal.
HOU pretty average for themselves but TB is playing pretty well. QB change seems to have helped.
Yep! I would support a team in Des Moines (where I live), and I support teams that land in Birmingham (where I grew up). Not interested in any of these other cities though. Chargers to Des Moines, NOW!
All XFL employees were laid off and operations were suspended today. Spring football fails again.
COVID-19 certainly didn't help any but there were signs the league might not make it before that anyway.

That really blows. Their product was not that bad IMO. Substantially more smooth than the AAF.
I am really bummed. I actually really enjoyed this time around. Hoping we still get spring football someday
It was better than the original one but it still didn't seem to have big crowds or be anything that would gather much sustainable interest.
Let's see if the NFL or college borrows the kick off ideas.
Two spring football leagues in a row that did not make it through a single season.

The XFL suspended operations Friday morning and laid off nearly all of its staff, multiple sources told ESPN. While a handful of executives remain employed, the league currently has no plans to return in 2021.
He's dead, Jim.

I've always wondered why somebody doesn't try a June/July/August season with all night games. Have your championship game just as college football is starting up.
I can't wait till Vince is 95 and tries it again. Not sure how a smart guy like him thought this could work even after the massive failure the last time.
Because these guys are trying to make an NFL roster and that is NFL training camp time.
In a normal environment, the league would probably get time to develop a little.
But without the ability to hold spectator events, McMahon is probably hemorrhaging money in his other entertainment properties that are better established and have a better chance of bouncing back when this is over. So it was an easy thing to cut.
I hope some of the innovations that they employed get a look at other levels of football. The XFL did some neat stuff.

The CFL would essentially be the timing model. Or maybe someone who partners with the CFL and adds 9 US based teams to make a total of 18.
Eh...?
