Notice they didn't say "big" announcements. Could be anything from date of the fall draft to on-sale date for season tickets to a date for the schedule release to something related to the XFL Shop to something completely off the wall that we're not even thinking of.

Same here. This could’ve come off as really low-budget but folks were mic’d well, there were multiple cameras, etc. We got to hear from folks like Sean Hayes and David Dykeman, who we normally don’t hear from. If anyone was expecting NFL Combine-like coverage, they may have been disappointed, but they showed enough of the drills and players, even talking to some of them, that it worked for me.
