Just watched a few minutes of the game. 

I like the 25-second play clock.

They also have a camera and microphone in the replay review booth.

I liked the way they did the kickoff, but that's the only highlight I've seen so far.

Same here. It'll definitely cut down on injuries

I watched the end of the Dallas game, and saw they have different rules for the 2 minute warning. They also only give teams 2 timeouts per half. 

 

Outside of the last two minutes of each half, when a play ends out of bounds or on an incomplete pass, the game clock will be stopped until the ball is spotted. In the NFL, the clock stops after every out of bounds play until the referee re-spots the ball and on incomplete passes until the next play begins.

XFL teams will have two timeouts per half, one fewer than in the NFL. Halftime is 10 minutes, two minutes less than the NFL.

If the XFL survives into year two, a Wildcats move to SoFi Stadium?    

Wellll, maybe not, since being announced today that WrestleMania 37 in 2021 will be held March 28 at SoFi Stadium.   The first ever large stadium WM held in SoCal, and only the second in CA

Saw something earlier this evening showing that tickets for the DC team are more expensive than Redskins tickets. 
that would be a an absolute deal breaker for me.

i wouldn't pay that much.

i'm afraid to see how much the rams & chargers will be charging for the new stadium. and i'm sure parking will be nearly as much as the game tix.

How many parking spaces are even going to be there?    Sounds like a lot of carpooling and public transit?

The real worry is how far from freeways it is.    Imagine all of those cars on Manchester, Prairie, and Century?

You can always park off-site and Uber in to the stadium.  Hopefully there are plenty of public transportation options. I don’t want to pay more than $20 to park.

Judging by the XFL failure and the recent screwy storylines in WWE, McMahon just needs to retire (in his mid 70s). 

How the heck do you take a feel good story (Roman Reigns beating leukemia into remission), and then turn him heel just a year later?
