In one of the least shocking developments of all time…the XFL and USFL are merging

This would be the best time for Oklahoma City or Tulsa to get an XFL-USFL franchise. Chapman Stadium in Tulsa seats 30,000; Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium can accommodate 60,000 - 65,000 seats in the lower bowl. Chad Richison Stadium (UCO Campus) accommodates 12,000.

Most XFL-USFL franchises play in stadiums seating around 20,000 or more. Memphis, a city with almost identical demographics as
Oklahoma City, both support NBA franchises and NCAA Division I football. USFL Memphis Showboats averaged around 12,000-15,000
per game which seems to be close to break-even for USFL and XFL franchises.
