Yesterday the league officially announced that this weekends matchup between the Seattle Dragons and Los Angeles Wildcats at CenturyLink would play as scheduled, but with no fans in attendance. Seattle currently leads the nation in coronavirus cases and deaths, followed by New York.
It was expected a similar restriction would be put in place for the New York/New Jersey area. ESPN’s Diana Russini has just announced on Twitter that New Jersey has indeed made a similar announcement, banned events of 250+ people.

The NBA, MLS, NHL and MLB have all suspended their seasons until further notice. Just earlier Dignity Health, home of the Wildcats, has cancelled all events until further notice. At the moment, the XFL is the only major sports organization not to suspend operations. It’s been rumored that the upper-management in the league are meeting today to discuss options with a possible announcement coming this afternoon.
Do you think the XFL will continue to play? If they suspend do you think they’ll finish the season? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below or join the conversation on Discord.
