Agreed, release the schedule and start selling tickets would give the league a better head start to the season than in 2023.

Question? - Would they be able to pick schedule dates w/o NBA releasing their Schedule yet (and TV sch)? Sure they can secure some stadium dates but TV plays a part in that too. What about NHL?

For reference, 2023 XFL season tickets went on sale November 17th. Hopefully this much longer lead time allows them to sell more season tickets.

BTW, is there any reason Vegas is one of the two teams not selling season tickets today? Houston I get with not knowing if they’ll be at TDECU next year. I assumed since the Vipers are back in Vegas they’d be back at Cashman. I haven’t heard anything rumored otherwise so I’m not sure what the hold-up is, unless it has to do with getting rid of some of the Vegas staff in the off-season. Don’t remember if they were ticket sales people or what. Maybe they don’t have those positions filled yet?

I sometimes work on the weekends so I can't commit to buying season tickets to all the Brahmas games. But I still plan on trying to make at least 2 depending on the dates / times. I looked at the Alamodome map for kicks to see how the sales were going and it seems to be decent given the earlier launch time vs. last year (what Greg mentioned).

I'm already pumped for the season!

Agreed. They could have just told people what they would do on August 1st. The mystery and the drama did not make this any more meaningful.

Nice they have started selling season tickets this early though, as people here have pointed out.

So speculation from Brandon Harrison of the YouTube Channel The Comeback Period, is that Cashman is reconfiguring it's seating for the Vipers in the same way that they have done for the Las Vegas Lights of the USL Championship.

Ugh. Why do they insist on repeating the same known mistakes?
