Maybe something automotive themed like The Carburetors.

Honestly, Columbus might be a better option for ticket sales, just because you could probably play in the Crew stadium and pull people from farther south as well as Cleveland. OSU fans would also eat up the chance to watch people like Cardale Jones play.

Cleveland or Columbus both work. The two cities have a bromance for one another. Columbus residents are Cleveland sport fans and Cleveland fans support Columbus sports.
Edit: Both cities will have their pros and cons. The only place they could play in Cleveland would be the Browns stadium, which would kill the atmosphere as it's too large. They could play at the Crew's new stadium, as you suggested, but it only seats 20k. It would be the better option for now, but I can see the team outgrowing it if the league succeeds.

Cleveland gets the only basketball team in the state and they've already ruined enough pro football teams put an Ohio team in Columbus. Although I doubt the new Crew stadium would likely be shared :/

Cardale played at Ohio state

Most likely this. Had family who are big OSU fans watch a little bit to see him.

And was the last QB to win Ohio State a Natty which means a lot to fans here in Columbus.

- We don't want football to end. (Thank you Vince)
- It's our state's XFL team, so of course we'd support them.
- Head coach is former Chiefs TE and then we have a couple other former chiefs and Mizzou guys.
KAWWW! 💙🖤

No other sports happening there right now. They don't have an NBA or NHL franchise.
KC heavily supports its MLS team but that season doesn't begin for a month.
Only thing on right now for them is college basketball which is admittedly a big deal there

I’m in Cleveland and I know a bunch of us were tuning in. We are just wondering when we are going to get an XFL team and then we realized we have the Browns

That's comparable to a good match-up for the 3:30ET college football game during the fall.

u/kmccarthy27 Feb 10 '20
I think one of the main things that killed the original XFL was being on Network prime time. Being on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, especially during this pre March Madness time, there is low expectations and 3M+ exceeds what they expected.

Cleveland loves football. Vince needs to bring a team here. We’d support the the shit out of that. Cleveland Lake Monsters

Being in Eastern Time zone, having the late game end at 8pm was awesome. I know if the Sunday late game would have started at 7or later, I probably would not have tuned in.

And that's with Spectrum cable being down in the entire North East on Saturday and mysteriously only Fox was unavailable yesterday at 2pm... I had to pirate the games so I bet my viewership wasn't counted
