The season hasn't even started and the expansion rumors are flying
already! Some within the XFL certainly would like to expand
the league, but do not want to become like major league baseball
(when they expanded too fast several years ago, and fan interest/ticket
sales suffered accordingly). Certainly the first season has
to go well and meet all minimum expectations before any expansion
teams can be considered; the possibility exists that if any teams
do not generate enough fan interest, they may move to another city
elsewhere.... A couple of cities I have heard mentioned are
Atlanta (any open, grass-field stadiums around there?), Miami, Phoenix,
Seattle, and San Antonio. I was told to basically look on
a map and find geographic areas without XFL teams, and they could
possibly be sites considered for future expansion teams (kind of
generic, but the season hasn't even started yet). The good
news is that if we get out and support the existing teams, our chances
for more teams will improve.

Since the inaugural game on February 3, 2001 has been officially
sold out, already rumors of either an expansion of the stadium or
a new stadium are circulating. But, the season has barely
started yet, so it remains to be seen if the Outlaws will remain
a permanent part of the Las Vegas community. Get out there
and support our Outlaws!!

The head coaches were required to fly to Los Angeles to meet with
XFL founder Vince McMahon to discuss potential rule changes, and
one interesting item that has come to light is the addition of a
two-point conversion. Could it be as in flag football competition,
where a one-point conversion attempt is from the 5-yard line, whereas
the two-point conversion would be from the 15-yard line? We
shall see very soon! One thing is for sure, and that is that
the kicking PAT is still a non-XFL item, and look for the ball to
still be passed/ran into the endzone for the PAT. |
