That is strange. It gives one team in the league a home field advantage for all their games.

Actually multiple cities will be hosting games in the USFL this year.

Looks like the teams from Houston, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, New Jersey, and Philadelphia will not have any âhomeâ games

Fully agree with both of the above statements.
Getting into TDECU seemed easier than it is for UH games in my opinion. Announced attendance was between 12,000-13,000. Actual attendance less than 10,000, so that made it easy to get in and out.
XFL 2020 promoted themselves at UH games, but UH didnât seem to be promoting at either XFL 2020 or XFL 2023.
Where will the USFL play in Houston?
They wonâtâŠ
In XFL, game clock runs after incomplete passes, too. Iâm not sure if it doesnât stop at all or starts running at the ready for play signal. The goal of the XFL is to keep games under three hours. I think their rules are accomplishing that goal.

I thought maybe the Gamblers would eventually play at the Dynamo stadium, but the USFL season is during the MLS season, so that probably wonât work. I donât know where alse they would play?
Either way the USFL will ABSOLUTELY HAVE to play in all the home cities in 2024 because of the pressure the XFL is putting on them.

I do not follow the USFL or the XFL close enough but it would seem like both of them cannot survive long term.
I favor the XFL simply because UH benefits financially from stadium rental.

The predecessor of the USFL was The Spring League. In 2021, The Spring League played half of its games at Rice Stadium. Mega Bowl 2021 was also played at Rice. (Iâm embarrassed to admit I attended Mega Bowl 2021.)
Because of this, I suspect that if the Gamblers ever play a down of football in Houston, it will be at Rice Stadium.

I totally forgot about RiceâŠGood point.
Only problem with that is the large size which will look terrible with minimal fans on TV.

I was at the game last week and one positive thing I noticed was the amount of high school kids and families with kids at the game. Seeing all of the UH symbolism at TDECU and being on campus is giving them a positive relationship with the university early on. Iâm no marketing expert but when these kids have a positive relationship with TDECU they will be more likely to come back in the fall.
