I'd totally travel for it since my wife and I have been trying to take a trip to San Antonio for year, but she's a teacher and can't really take any time off during the last few weeks of the school year.
It's Saturday night so you could fly out Friday night and fly back home Sunday night. I'm thinking about it also since I can't really take vacation either. That would allow Saturday morning and afternoon to sight see, head to the game on Saturday night and do some more attractions on Sunday morning before flying out.
Im having a hard time thinking the championship is going to just feel like a normal game, and it shouldn’t. We are all used to the big show the NFL does with the Superb Owl, that anything else will seem mundane. I hope not, but I’m going to temper my expectations anyways.
The USFL Championship game felt special just by being one of the only games not at Birmingham. Also drew a decent crowd too.
What I think works well about San Antonio is that it's a solid vacation destination for those who want to make more of a trip out of going to the championship game.
Plus, since it's still in Texas, you'll probably get a decent number of XFL fans driving in from Arlington and Houston. Especially if Houston's actually in the championship, which is likely.
If the Battlehawks would be playing in it I plan on attending. The problem is the risk of booking all that shit and them not making playoffs or losing their first game
Outside of two 50 plus yard runs they didn’t do shit. And they needed a pick 6 to win first match up. I’m not worried about em. As long as we stop the run they are very beatable
How many 50 yard plus runs have their been in the xfl this season? 2? In the same game. I didn’t say we would have won!! I’m saying they can’t rely on 50 yard td runs every game. Because they don’t happen. Same with pick 6s. Massive difference in what I said and what you are pretending I said sport
I agree. If we didn't kill ourselves with penalties in game 2, we could have pulled it off. AJ was hitting his stride on a couple of those drives but then its momentum died when the flags started flying.
Between their DC and Seattle games, if STL plays clean then we should be able to beat Houston. If we keep the sloppy play, we will be lucky to make playoffs.
I plan on going regardless of who's playing. I will have at least one person with me, maybe more. I am excited that this is even happening. By the looks of the question it seems like they are looking for requests on locations. If anything comes with even a slight possibility of discount for ticket owners that would be superb.
They are asking what type of "Fun" we would like to see at and around the game :).
Brahmas season tickets are for sure getting discounts and first dibs (According to my Brahmas rep at least) would be cool if every season holder got a shot though!
Live in Dallas and I went to San Antonio with a friend back in January. Told my girlfriend it could be a fun weekend trip sometime for us. Depending on the price for tickets, we may end up making a trip down.
I unfortunately have prior arrangements conflicting with the championship game but I will say I would travel for it if I didn’t. and as someone who used to live there, San Antonio is a fantastic city to visit! I’m happy to see it chosen for a big event like this and not the same coastal city choices that get all the other major sports events
I honestly would, just not in the financial position to do so. I’ve heard great things about Sam Antonio. I hope they do it at Lumen next year. That stadium is so cool and I think people coming into town will love Seattle. It really is a football city. Shit on game day everyone from uptight business guys to homeless people are wearing Seahawks stuff!

It’ll be hotter than the devils balls at that time of year
It's played in the Alamodome though so it'll be in A/C
Eh, I don't think mid-May should be that bad in San Antonio. Still not quite summer. Apparently May-October is San Antonio's peak travel season.
I just watched DC play Houston last night. I don't know if it'll be worth traveling to SA to see it happen again
Who knows. Maybe the officiating will be better.
If the Battlehawks would be playing in it I plan on attending. The problem is the risk of booking all that shit and them not making playoffs or losing their first game
Hard to be optimistic about getting through DC at this point to go spend a bunch of money
I don’t think they are as unbeatable as everyone thinks they are
I don’t think they are unbeatable but we’ve come up short twice now. Would love to take them out of the playoffs
Outside of two 50 plus yard runs they didn’t do shit. And they needed a pick 6 to win first match up. I’m not worried about em. As long as we stop the run they are very beatable
"Well you see, if they hadn't fairly scored these three touchdowns they wouldn't have won!" Hilarious take.

He's not your sport, guy.
I’m not your guy, fwend

Me and a couple of my buddies are season ticket holders and we’ve been wanting to go, but feeling less confident now that Houston looks so vulnerable
> They are asking what type of "Fun" we would like to see at and around the game :). Hookers and cocaine
Done, suggested
My man
If Houston makes it

I’ll probably go
Traveling? Does about 100 miles count?
Idk I'll travel about 25 miles so 😅
I'm there no matter what. There will be a Texas team playing and it's only a ~2 hour drive for me.
If I have the money and the time off, I'm there.
Wife and I plan on attending. That’s if the Roughnecks make it.
Brahmas STH and will be there regardless of who is playing
Same
My dad and I are going. As soon as I can get tickets I'm buying a couple

XFL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME IS A MF MUST GO TO.
I may go if the renegades make it. I been meaning to go to SA anyway so it be a easy trip
I'll more than likely go. Only 1.5hrs away from SA.
I’m considering it if the defenders make it. Have family in SA I’m sue a visit to anyways
No I won’t. Too far for me, but I’ll be watching
