That’s the over/under for the game. You can bet on the total points scored.

We're talking about the XFL in the official NFL thread as well and I posted these pics from Ticketmaster in there.

MetLife stadium for today's early game, the dots are available seats. They weren't selling tickets for the upper decks.

Globe Life for today's late game. They weren't selling tickets for the upper deck either.

I know that yesterday they said they had 17.6k people at Audi Field in DC.

The prices aren’t as low as the hype originally made it seem. The Hou-Dal lowest price I can find is $36, and I swear I saw it advertised that some tickets would be in the $20 range.

You better nail some down before this game ends. If Dallas wins those prices will likely go up.

Dallas vs Houston should be a big game anyway because it's only a 3 hour drive for the other team's fans and if both teams are worth a shit they'll travel in droves.

I believe it depends on the venue.

Next week the cheapest ticket for a DC Defenders game at Audi Field is $24 but the cheapest ticket for a Dragons game at CenturyLink is $42. From going through most of the games that seems to be the range for cheapest tickets among the stadiums. In general the soccer stadiums are cheapest while the NFL stadiums are more expensive. The main exception is Raymond James stadium in TB and The Dome in St. Louis.

edit: for HOU vs DAL the tickets for the week 9 game in Houston are $24. I'm guessing thats a farther drive though so the $36 tickets are probably better...

It’s not real time, that was the O/U before the game. The real time O/U would be much lower since there’s only 12 pts so far.

Marquette King was one of the best punters in the NFL for about a year or two with the Raiders. He has a personality though.

When he got traded to Denver they didn't let him punt "his" way and it really had an effect on his performance.

Ok I missed yesterday and caught some of it today..

I'm not getting the good you guys are talking about...they look worse than D1 football. Wide open drops, QB taking useless sacks, punt returners can catch
That kick off is unique and probably wouldn't be a bad idea for the NFL if they're looking to cut back on those full force hits.

If you go out a few weeks, end zone tickets at Centurylink start at $24 but those are going fast.

ETA:   Yes, there were ads for $20 tickets but that was the per game price  for a season pass end zone seat.

Remember a lot of these guys have been out of football for awhile and they've only been practicing together for a month or so. They haven't had the time to gel as a team.

Essentially most these teams are made of D1 players who didn't get to or stick in the NFL, so if you think of it as D1 teams with the future NFL guys removed and factor in the unfamiliarity that kinda explains the mistakes you're seeing. I'm sure some of it will improve over the course of the season.

Watched all the games this weekend I like the brand, I was expecting some sloppy play being a new league, but the play looked good, the game seems to move much faster, not near as many penalties being called and I like the extra point setup.

I saw the first XFL ejection today going to be interesting to see how the XFL handles it vs how the NFL does.

Looks like Dallas did almost that:

Nearly 20,000 watch Dallas Renegades' first XFL game

ARLINGTON, Texas — It was the beginning of a new era.

Sunday, an announced crowd of 17,206 watched the first-ever game of the new Dallas Renegades XFL team.
Hopefully those numbers will keep going up.

Yep. The football is actually pretty decent. For the most part, it looks like real football played by good players and not a gimmick.

Know what would be an attractive draw? Exhibition games between various collegiate teams and XFL teams. Imagine the XFL Champion playing against the Div. I Champ in springtime during spring practices.
