BREAKING: XFL Houston franchise to play at TDECU Stadium in 2020

The XFL’s Houston team announced on Wednesday that the University of Houston’s TDECU Stadium will host the team in Spring 2020.

The XFL was originally founded in 1999, but closed after one season. It was revived this year by Vince McMahon and plans to start again in Spring 2020.

“We are honored to partner with the XFL and bring professional football to TDECU stadium,” UH Athletics Director Chris Pezman said in a release from UH Athletics.

The deal will bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from the XFL and any TV deals, according to the Houston Chronicle.
