This is a great idea!   40,000 seat stadium would fit both of our crowds better, and we would not have to give RJS such a big cut of everything!

Only problem is that the XFL will be gone in 3 years.

I still think that too, but the attendance has been better than I expected for these games.  People love football.

If they make it to year 3 I’d be surprised, and they might survive. I’m thinking one and done honestly

still mind blowing to me the Vipers chose green as their colors, when they knew they'd be playing in a red stadium.  Amazing.

Naturally on most football teams the most popular player is the backup quarterback. Usually the backup is a backup for a reason. That may not be the case with Quinton Flowers. He has seen limited action and did have a poor week 2 performance but three weeks into the season he appears to be the Vipers most explosive quarterback. Maybe it doesn't translate well for a full game. Maybe Flowers has been playing so well because the other teams aren't preparing for him. But with a QB rating of over 90 in two out of three games, Flowers is the highest rated quarterback on the Vipers. I know I've heard it, he is too short, he is sometimes inaccurate. These are true but with the performances that have come out of the QB position over the last two games Its time to try Flowers, full time.

 

From Pat Yasinskas, XFL.com Week 3: What we learned

 

In a league with a three-game season, it’s time to panic when you start off 0-3. That’s happening in Tampa Bay.

In a Week 3 loss to Houston, coach Marc Trestman turned play-calling duties over to offensive coordinator Jaime Elizondo. Things went relatively well as the Vipers, who had not scored an offensive touchdown in the first two weeks, scored 27 points.

But they still lost and their quarterback situation is muddled. It’s time to clear that up. It’s time to turn things over to Quinton Flowers. Original starter Aaron Murray played poorly in the opener and has missed the last two games with a foot injury. Backup Taylor Cornelius has started the last two games, but he’s not the answer. He completed just 52 percent of his passes and threw an interception Saturday.

Flowers, a fan favorite who played at the University of South Florida, got some playing time against Houston and looked like the Vipers’ most explosive quarterback, posting a 93.1 passer rating and running for a touchdown. Flowers should get the start next week against the DC Defenders.

Well the team is 0-3 and you want to get the home town fans involved.

There is absolutely no reason to not give him a start in Game 4!

I will say, I am actually more interested in this iteration than any other secondary league.  I would go to Vipers games if I lived in Tampa.

Nathan Bond is saying that Flowers is no longer with the team.
