https://kmox.radio.com/articles/news/battlehawks-tickets-selling-for-more-than-stl-rams-averagedThere's room for expansion into some Non-NFL markets like Alabama, Oklahoma, Oregon & Utah. Since this is a league that runs a counter schedule to the NFL; many college campuses may open up to leasing their stadium in the off season' like TDECU Stadium home of the XFL Houston Roughneck--stadium owned by University of Houston. If the XFL is successful; expect expansion (4 franchises) in 2022.
University of Tulsa - Skelly Field at H. A. Chapman StadiumCapacity 30,000 Alabama - Legion Field, Birmingham (City of Birmingham)
Utah - Rice-Eccles Stadium, Salt Lake City, University of Utah
Oregon - Providence Park, Portland (City of Portland)
Tulsa IMHO could top 22,000 average at Chapman Stadium.
