Went to an XFL Game last night

Yup. QB Josh Johnson is thriving in Norm Chow's offense.

whats Josh Johnson have to do with the Renegades?

Not a damned thing. That's what I get for having multiple XFL threads open at the same time.

i put in for a photopass for a renegades game and was pretty much told "hahahahahahahahahahaha" so lost interest.

I dont see much more XFL talk of late maybe the mods move them..or its not catching on as quickly as some thought..

My 17yr old nephew invited me to the Renegade game here at Globe Life(Park) dont get me started on the new Rangers field being called Globe Life Field and the park now used for XFL and other events across the street still called globe life park..its confusing all muddled up like that..

back to last nights experience he has season tickets for two cost him about 200 bucks.. lmao it cost me more uberig us to and from plus I bought him food, drinks, as well as myself beer and I got cold and went to the pro shop to get a long sleeve shirt, got my Nephew one as well im a good uncle and it was his Bday last month and he wasn't around for the family to all get together, so I treated him after he invited me out of the blue..

So add all this up and I spend about $225 , ok he has season tickets for 200 and I spent more going with a free invite in one game..its how they get you ..

The experience food was not great was like cafeterias food , beers were aluminum cans 6.00 at the walk up, $9 in the stands, its how they get you lol

the football itself was like watching NFL Preseason games and I guess that to be expected, it was loud and fun hanging out and a lot cheaper then any Mavs, rangers, stars, Or for sure a Cowboys game..Im not fan so it wasn't as fun as going to a Cowboys game truly caring who wins or loses but all in all not really bad..its better then sitting at home or going to a movie and got to hang with my nephew which is rare as teens do their own things....

At one point late in the second half I was brought back to the 2019 Boys season as I was told the guardians were horrible and the renegades should win easily and I saw bad play calls, bad QB play, drops, missed tackles and many other reminders of how our season went as the clock expired and the underdog won big..lol

lastly it was odd he had 3 other friends there he didnt know had tickets and they found their way over, I saw our chamber president there which well it is a Sponsor as the Arlington Chamber is big reason they get all these big sports venues here in Arlington, so Im assuming the cheaper price and less crowded event makes it attractive to fans.. there was about 16k there heard 22 is the most they've had and BTW Globe Life is still a very nice place to hang out, glad they didnt tear it down..​

I was at the same game. Took my son up for the weekend. We toured The Star and then went to the XFL game. Ended us spending $85 for both tickets to sit 16 rows up around the 10 yard line. We ate lunch before going to the game so we didn't have the desire to get any concessions. The distance between the stands and the field sucked though since it is a baseball park. The first half was a snooze fest and we were thinking about leaving early to beat the traffic but decided to stay. Thankfully the 2nd half had more fireworks and by that point I didn't care who won, I just wanted to see some action.

Was happy to support the XFL though. Really hope is takes off. The quality needs to improve and hopefully, given the time, it will.
