Seems there might be some demand for an "official" XFL discussion thread so here it is. Have at it.

I am not a football fan by any means, but I will definitely be checking this out! I am quite excited for it, honestly!

Not the biggest football guy but this first game has been pretty fun. Hoping the league can keep this up.

First game was fun. Love that the crowd was into it and if attendance is the same throughout the season that will be a plus. It does miss star power but XFL is more for people who love the game of football not the drama & clout.

I don't watch NFL, but do they interview the players as often as they do on here? It seems like they interview them constantly. "Explain what went wrong with the play that literally just happened"! Like, come on, still a sore wound!

I thought the first game was a little bit rough, but still a fun watch. Gotta work the kinks out.

That blocked punt-touchdown in the DC/Seattle game was exciting! I like how lively the crowd is!

I cant get into american football, its too stop start, there doesnt appear to be any fluidity about it like football/soccer.

The first 2 games were pretty good. I enjoy the new things they are doing and really love all the microphones. Hope this lasts for a couple of years.

Is this good or bad? Dont NFL games get 20 million viewers? I'd say great for a minor league/feeder league. Nothing can top NFL. These dudes are the one's on those practice squads or not on teams anymore....not bad by any means, just not the NFL. Looks like Vince pulled it off finally. Good for him.

Corporate is claiming to have already surpassed the lifetime ticket sales of the defunct AAF. Just goes to show what kissing up to networks and pandering to the right audience can do.

Used to really be into football as a kid then fell out of it(no idea why). But I went into this with high hopes and I really enjoyed it. Missed Saturday's games but caught last night's Renegades game since that's the team I'm going for. It was a fun time and actually had me thinking a comeback could happen in the final minutes of that fourth quarter.
I even watched it with wrestling fans who don't like football and they left my house looking forward to the next batch of games. Still have to get used to their rules though, but so far this is a thumbs up from me.

I watched one game on saturday and the 2nd half of the Dallas game on sunday. The game play was fine but i really liked that they miced up the refs and put a camera in the replay booth and showed that process.

Kickoffs are the best part I think

Those sound like really good opening numbers to me. How many people will stick around though?
Are there any bye weeks, or are they playing every week for 10 weeks? They’ll very much be on the back burner during March Madness.

The original XFL got 1.5-2.0 ratings after week 1.
