Also, the conspiracy theorist inside me believes the NFL is doing this to squelch any possibility of a rival league to the NFL.
Here's another conspiracy.
NFL starting up this league to have something in place in case due to the injury / concussion suits ultimately cause irreparable damage to the NFL / college and football in the US with football being phased out.

They can't realistically expect more than 5k people anyway to go to these games, so why not give them to smaller markets so that city can have pride in a team. Like Richmond, Dover, Erie, Birmingham, cities like that.
Adding another sport into that mix is difficult

I agree I wish they would start out in smaller stadiums. Play games in empty NFL stadiums is where the MLS originally went wrong.

Last years crowd at the USA/Italy game was a little over 17K!
And that was with the cheapest seat being 30 dollars.
I just hop this new league will have more reasonable prices
