XFL Title Game

The XFL is playing their championship game in the Alamodome…marking the 8th time this year a football game nobody cares about has been played in that building.

As a fan or follower of niche sports like indoor/spring football, lacrosse, etc., it's nice to see them make it a whole season.

I'm a bigger fan of the branding in the USFL, though. I'd like to see both leagues merge. A 16-team spring league would get many more's attention.

I can understand the City of Arlington desiring more national attention but the naming of the team “Arlington Renegades” seems to limit regional interest, exposure and coverage. It just seems more acceptable to name the team Dallas, Fort Worth, DFW or even North Texas.

Otherwise, why does anyone in Irving, Plano or Frisco care? Anyway, congratulations to the franchise.

This was my biggest problem with all of the rebranding made when The Rock revived the league. It had to be some sort of provision with the Arlington partnership since they used the city as a hub for all of the players.

Gotta thing more people outside of Texas hear "Arlington" and think the cemetery before they think the DFW suburb.
