AAF vs XFL Spring Football

[AlabamaSlammer]

I'm just curious if any other members are excited for these leagues to start up? With the AAF coming in late February 2019 and the XFL returning in 2020.

Will football fans be able to support 2 separate spring leagues or will this be another crash and burn attempt to take on the NFL?

I had season tickets to the original XFL Las Vegas Outlaws. I had 50 yard line seats in the 5th row from the field/bench. The PAIR of tickets cost me $500, and included T-Shirts, commemorative football, free beer and hot dogs before the home games in the beer garden, plus more. It was the most fun I ever had at any sporting event. The fans were awesome. The games were fun as hell to watch live.

Unfortunately, I suspect that the new XFL will most likely never even launch. The AAF is getting the jump on them for any chance at building an audience. But quite frankly, the current Indoor Football League (IFL) isn't exactly doing great... and it's had 8+ years to build an audience. I just can't see either of these new leagues lasting more than 2 seasons.
