why would they locate these teams in so many cities that already have an NFL team? Wouldn’t it be much more prudent to put them in conservative markets without an NFL team?
They will be playing in the Spring, during the NFL off season, so they will not be competing head to head with the NFL club.
The thought is that they needed to have presence in major cities. Those often have an NFL team already.
They did add St. Louis, which has had football teams. I think one of the TX teams should have been in San Antonio; that town is one of the largest in the US and has ONE major sports franchise. Their AAF team was drawing decently for the 6 weeks it was playing games.
