Where will they play in Boston?
They say the league plans to play in minor league baseball stadiums.
If they played at McCoy Stadium, it would not be a Boston team.
The home of the Brockton Rox, might not be a bad location.

I heard they were going to play on Wednesdays.
The league would need to the NFL to get on board for any long term success, but I would check out a Wednesday night game, for a cheap price.

“Given the current Division I landscape in football and the collective bargaining agreement the NFL has with the union, there is more than ever a need for another platform out there,” FXFL commissioner Brian Woods told the AP. “A platform like for basketball and baseball players.
“Pro football has nothing. The NFL has the practice squad, but it does not develop players because they don’t get into games. You don’t develop if you aren’t getting on the field.”
The league, which plans to play in minor league baseball stadiums, hopes to someday partner with the NFL.
