The football quality was real good in 2020. I hope they can replicate that.

I am looking forward to watching it and enjoyed it a lot in 2020.

Yeah, seemed like it was going pretty well until everything was forced to shut down. Then I think the USFL starts up right after this league ends. Football all year.

No team in the North East? Strange

No team in the North East? Strange

Yeah, weird. The Guardians played at MetLife in 2020. Now they're in Orlando.

Maybe they took the attendence collection of the last iteration and decided to have teams in cities with the most engagement first ?

Looks like you nailed it
Found this:
"The New York Guardians, in 2020, had a contending team, a passionate fan base and drew good ratings in the country’s biggest TV market.

On FOX, New York’s game with Tampa on February 9th, 2020, was the high-water mark for XFL viewership two years ago. It wasn’t the league’s opening game on ABC, which typically produces the highest sample audience for these types of entities.
The Sunday afternoon 2/9 Guardians-Vipers game averaged a 2.1 rating and 3.39 million viewers—the largest audience for a non-NFL pro football game since Week 6 of the original XFL in 2001 (3.67 million).

However, ratings aside, the Guardians’ attendance figures were modest at best. In only two home games, New York averaged 14,875 fans per game. Second to last in the XFL in 2020, only ahead of LA (13,124).
A 14k average is a decent number for a brand-new team in an upstart league with largely unknown players. Especially considering the drawback of bitter cold Northeast weather in February. But the ginormous confines of MetLife Stadium, which seats over 82,000 fans, made Guardians games an eyesore for the XFL. It provided a poor visual representation to the mainstream sports audience who sampled the league."

The Rock Comments On The XFL’s Decision To Pass On New York

In a candid moment with a heartbroken fan, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson took to social media to explain why the New York Guardians weren’t returning for the XFL reboot in 2023. Changing Of The XFL Guardian Unless you have been living under a Dwayne Johnson, it’s been public knowledge since early...

XFL kicks off this weekend? Awesome!

 

[dieterbrock]

Seems so weird to not have a local team to root for, at least with the AAF league I could root for Martz.

Here's a wild nugget from the league, Josh Gordon is getting another chance at pro football, in the XFL that is...
