Is the XFL planning a comeback? It’s a possibility.
According to a story from The Athletic’s Daniel Kaplan, XFL owner Vince McMahon appears to be attempting to buy his professional football league out of Delaware bankruptcy court.
The article said XFL has contacted two of its more successful franchises, the St. Louis BattleHawks and the Seattle Dragons, about reinstating lease agreements.
A source familiar with the matter confirmed to the Post-Dispatch that XFL President Jeff Pollack contacted the St. Louis Convention & Visitors Commission about the league's lease at The Dome at America's Center.
The XFL had eight franchises and played five of its scheduled 10 games before the coronavirus pandemic hit.
