While there might have been minor declines in two markets, the XFL getting a 9.5% increase overall is great news for the league.
It’s not a secret at all that I’m cheering for the XFL to succeed, and it’s been incredibly impressive through two weeks.

The TV ratings in week one were booming, and now we find out the attendance went up in week two. We’re still waiting on TV ratings for this past weekend, but I have a feeling they’re going to be impressive as well.
If the TV audiences stay big and the attendance continues to increase, then there’s no doubt at all that Vince McMahon’s new league is going to last.

I hope it does because I’m enjoying the hell out of it!
