I watched a little bit and thought the overall look/vibe was better than last year's USFL but i saw so little, hard to say if my impression was right or will stick if i watch more...

Isn't "the weather is nice / there's other things to do" cited as a common (and extremely flimsy) reason LA fans don't go to Rams games?

Not watching the 17th attempt at an alternative football league on TV is not the same as not attending Rams games.

They had some XFL watch parties at Ballpark Village and some sports bars around St. Louis. They were poorly attended by all accounts. But like I said the weather was glorious here for February (high 60s and sunny).

I suppose. I'm inferring you mean "don't read too much into the low attendance because weather" (which I equate to flimsy excuses offered re the Rams, we may just disagree here)? I just wouldn't get too attached to the Battlehawks - or any XFL team for that matter - but you do see kind of cool stories emerge like the one involving the Proehls.

Not going to get attached as the new St. Louis MLS team starts play this weekend.

But there few tickets for the Battlehawks opener as they’re keeping it limited it to the lower bowl of the dome.
