Nashville has three major league teams (Titans, Preds, MLS) and Triple A Baseball (Sounds). I do not think there is room for an XFL team.

I’ll be sure and chuckle at that thought as I watch my Tigers Sat and my Grizz on Mon...I’m thinking Blues City ribs Sat and some Gus’ chicken on Mon.

I’ll be sure and drive by health Sciences park on my way and smile at what’s NOT there and enjoy my great city :-)

On my visit over the Christmas period, I was impressed but what is going on in Downtown and Midtown. What did I miss?

Excuse me, sir, your ignorance is showing.

Clearly you missed all the trash dumps.

You're suggesting that Memphis was a better city in 1999 or whenever the XFL announced its teams than it is in 2018?

In September, I went for a full tour of the up and coming areas... downtown, midtown and Broad....Broad Arts District is big wow.

The 'worse spots' are going to the airport from East Mem and near the airport.

I also like the cognitive dissonance between having a team in a trash league means we're cool and not having a team in a trash league means we're trash.

What an awful user sometimes.

What's the matter, WestPennDen, did another black family move into your neighborhood this week?

3 cities I bet will get teams are St. Louis, San Diego, and San Antonio.

I thought this thread was about the old tv show Mannix.

This league is never going to happen.

My old stomping grounds of Hickory Hill was certainly much better then. #annexdeeznutz

You're right....getting an NBA team is pretty lame compared to getting the Maniax, and Mad Dogs, and Pharaohs, and Rockers. How will we ever survive?

yup. Its gonna be tough to get into an NFL city due to how teams control stadiums these days. LA would be the exception.

For arguments sake, let's say the Big 3 of NYC, LA and Chicago each get a team

That leaves 5 cities left....

with many non-NFL markets as options -

St. Louis
San Diego
San Antonio
Portland
Sacramento
Oakland (2020)
Austin
Oklahoma City
Omaha
Columbus, OH
Orlando
Hartford
Birmingham
Louisville
Memphis
Norfolk / Richmond

just to name off a few.....the only way Memphis is one of those 5 would be because we're a rasslin town and the King could help promote the team

Where would they play in Chicago? Not Soldier Field. At Northwestern?

NYC...cant play at MetLife. Where then? Yankee Stadium? NYCFC is already their in the spring and summer with the Yankees. Maybe CitiField?

Not arguing....just curious.

Memphis supported the Maniax. Memphis provided the WWF/WWE with a lot of talent. Memphis has a football stadium.

I’m sure if Memphis gives good lease terms to McMahon, Memphis is in.

I’d believe the other cities would be NYC in the MLS stadium, Birmingham, Orlando, Chicago (in MLS stadium), San Jose, San Antonio, and LA.

The question is how the games will be broadcast. I doubt these version gets network support so maybe the big markets won’t matter as much.
