There is a rumor floating around that TDECU will host Houston’s new XFL team.

UH is going to make a little over $1 million a home game. Great get for as long as it lasts. If the owner is smart, they sign Johnny Football or Vince to QB and sell the place out. It’s going to be more publicity stunt than quality football, I imagine.

That’s some good dough for sure!
I might even have to go see a game and buy some merchandise!
Query: is following a XFL team sort of like an act of betrayal with respect to the local NFL franchise?
How does that work, does the XFL team get signage in the stadium? They should probably choose red as their team color.
Also, either ask for the money up front or make sure they pay with cash. No checks.

They can play there but they don’t get to use our practice facilities or change signing. Plenty of LED boards to do any signing/advertising with.

I’m pretty sure Vince wants to get it RIGHT this time.

Use the extra cash to upgrade the stadium… concessions on 3rd level, water fountains, etc.

Concessions at top of 2nd level makes so much sense. It serves the second and third deck. When I have tickets in the third deck, I know I am only going to the concession stand once because doing those stairs 4 times in one day is enough for me.

Oilers is probably out of the question, but how about the Houston Wildcatters? or Wild Cats? They could even use our Cougar Roar for 3rd down conversions!

I recall we used Dynamo rent money to improve the lighting at Roberson Stadium so we could get more TV games.
I like the idea of making the upper deck improvements. The reason my season tickets are on the visitors side is because of the lack of amenities (like concessions) and necessities (like restrooms) on the home side.

The football wasn’t bad in the original XFL. Problem was the way Vince marketed it.
There is enough football talent to have another quality football league
