And they need an agreement with the NFL. Let players thet are practice squad or third string guys get reps in the XFL.

As far as cities are concerned, with it looking more and more like Birmingham will get a new metro stadium, I'd expect them to be high on the list.

They are saying 8 teams to start with, maybe pro football returns to San Diego and Oakland, probably Orlando as well. Possibly Memphis, San Antonio. Imagine a team in Canton, OH playing in the Hall of Fame stadium.

Play begins in 2020.

I think Birmingham is a safe bet. As well as San Diego and St Louis with them not have NFL teams anymore.

My Guess:

West
San Diego
San Antonio
Oklahoma City
Salt Lake or Honolulu

East
Orlando
Memphis
St Louis
Birmingham

I don't see Honolulu getting it, at least not initially. Just to far out there. But maybe Mexico City. Is there an available stadium in Salt Lake?

Honolulu because they lost the Pro Bowl and is one of the largest cities in the west that currently does not have a NFL team close by.

The New XFL is going to be family friendly and patriotic hints the new (red,while, and blue logo) I think Mexico City is going to be a hard sell.

Travel costs will nix Honolulu I think. Startup league doesn't need that cost.
