The XFL, backed by World Wrestling Entertainment owner Vince McMahon, lasted one season in 2001. The league, while ultimately a disappointment is credited with a number of innovations that networks use to air the NFL today. McMahon has vowed to have a more hands-off approach this time around.

The team, not yet named, will play 5 of its 10 games at The Dome at America’s Center. The league is scheduled to kick off in the Spring of 2020.
