I am.

Interesting to see the new rules and the new camera angles.

I'm more excited about the XFL than I am the Commercial Bowl.

St. Louis has a team and I'm not excited.

That said I'll probably watch the first game if I've got nothing else going on.

They got the timing all wrong.

It should precede, not follow, the nfl season.

It's going to need to utilize stripper poles and hot lesbian action before i will notice.

I’ll watch it. But the history of pro football leagues not named the NFL makes it pretty hard to raise my interest level to “excited”.

looks like st.louis has over 6k in season tickets, which leads the league, so some one here locally cares, a little.

Was excited to go to a game or two but once I factored in pricing parking etc., it’s not really worth it to me.

All the games are nationally televised so there’s some money in it but how long will it last?

Sorta ready for a break from football.

Hell yeah! Instead of football ending for 6 months, I get to watch kids trying to make it to the league.

if they don't drop concession prices(dome was expensive in stl), interest in attending games will wain quickly.

I completely agree with this. All these leagues always attempt to launch immediately after the Super Bowl and that's just stupid.

People have been gorging on tons of football for 5-6 months straight and the Super Bowl caps it all off.

If you let people actually miss football for a little while they'll be willing to give a B league a shot.

I am, but I don’t know how long it will keep my interest.

I'm interested in fantasy XFL just to keep sharp for NFL fantasy football.

Not really. I guess I'll pay attention since I live in a city that has a team. But I'm usually all footballed out by the super bowl. I don't really have much interest in the super bowl too be honest. Gonna watch mostly to see if any of my squares win.

All football is good. Only lack of football is bad.

I actually enjoyed watching the AAF, so I'll certainly give it a shot. But I have my concerns...

1. I still don't like the idea that the league exists on the whim of one owner. Vince McMahon could wake up in a bad mood one day, and pull the plug on the whole thing. I hope that McMahon is hoping to attract investor/operators like Major League Soccer has, but I have my doubts.

2. Are fans in cold weather markets like NYC, and DC really going REALLY going to go watch an XFL team they don't have an emotional connection to in the middle of February? Again... I have my doubts. Like some of the rest of you, I think they would have been better served waiting until April. I understand the arguments behind starting right after the Super Bowl... but I disagree with them.

3. How attractive of a TV product are they going to have without having teams in multiple Top 10 TV markets. Is there any incentive for fans in Chicago or Boston or Philly to watch?
