    Fcuking up the field before the season even starts.

    Maybe they can put turf down for the pointyball games.

    Down 3-0 and a Thursday night game? I don’t blame anyone who didn’t buy a ticket. The Thursday night game was a real nice “thank you” from the league for the best regular season record.

    “Disgrace” is over stating it quite a bit. Get a grip.

    It's what he does. He is a troll who has openly admitted he posts just for the reaction.

    XFL home venues announced. Some MLS overlap here.

    • Dallas – Globe Life Park
    • Houston – TDECU Stadium
    • Los Angeles – StubHub Center
    • New York – MetLife Stadium
    • St. Louis – The Dome at America’s Center
    • Seattle – CenturyLink Field
    • Tampa Bay – Raymond James Stadium
    • Washington, DC – Audi Field
    Very curious that they didn't go with Red Bull Arena in New York/Jersey... Metlife is certainly too big... Also baseball stadium in Dallas instead of Toyota stadium. Does the XFL expect > 20k attendance in some markets? Ambitious.

    BBVA Compass in Houston was on the list originally but apparently they have moved over to the stadium at the University of Houston.

    Will chargers be out of stub hub by then? If not that will be some interesting scheduling and some serious damage to the field.

    My son is an electrical engineer working on the design of the Rams Stadium. My understanding is that it is set to open for the 2020 NFL season which means the Chargers will be at Stub Hub for the 2019 season.

    XFL is now starting in 2020, so barring another construction delay, Chargers will be out. Given the XFL's choice of markets, I don't think this league will last long.

    The new NFL stadium in LA is scheduled to open in 2020. That's the same year that the new XFL kicks off. So the Chargers last season at StubHub should be 2019 and the XFL team would start there in 2020.

    It should also be noted that the XFL plans to run its schedule February through April or May so games will have to schedule around MLS but would not have conflicted with the NFL games in any case.

    Yes, totally a just for fun link. No real rhyme or reason behind it. It's off-season though, so I thought I'd be ok to share.

    So Atlanta averaged 71,187 for the playoffs
    53,002 for regular season
    1,114,594 total attendance season and playoffs combined for a total average of 55,729.
    That is higher than 4 NFL teams thus far this year. Yes, I know the NFL numbers are only regular season, but they also have half the games so they should have an easier time selling tickets considering the much lower supply.

    NFL average playoff attendance might be kind of low, since the Chargers will make it.

    Atlanta Utd tickets are priced so that normal people can attend. So what?

    Or are you simply telling us that NFL tickets are more in demand than MLS ones? If so, thanks for that incredible insight - who knew?

    NashSC was comparing Atlanta attendance to the NFL. He listed the fewer games for the NFL that might affect the numbers but did not say anything about ticket price. I was just providing another data point and asking for more information.
