The team is a franchise of the XFL (2020) begun by Vince McMahon of World Wrestling Entertainment, a major television network in the United States. The team will play its home games at CenturyLink Field in Seattle. The open-air football stadium has a capacity of over 69,000 and a roof covering 70 percent of the seating area. The stadium was uniquely constructed for sound and has twice held the Guinness World Record for loudest crowd at an outdoor stadium.[2] Seattle joins New York, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Tampa Bay and Washington, D.C. as the league's inaugural cities. Teams will have 40-man active rosters and play a 10-week season. Vince McMahon said “the game will feature simplified rules for a faster pace of game that should complete in under three hours”, and will draw from former college and NFL players.[3] Pete Carroll, the coach of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks was also “fired up” about the major announcement of the brand-new pro sports franchise on its way to Seattle.{{citation needed|date=December 2018}} The as-yet unnamed XFL football team will start play at CenturyLink Field on Feb. 8 or 9, 2020, one week after Super Bowl LIV.[4]HistorySeven out of eight of the teams that were awarded an inaugural team from Vince McMahon are located in an NFL city, XFL Seattle will be sharing CenturyLink Field with the Seattle Seahawks of the NFL. It will fill a hole in the Seattle professional sports scene, as during the winter months no pro sports play in the city; the Seahawks play in the autumn, while the Seattle Mariners baseball team plays in the spring and summer, and Seattle Sounders FC soccer team plays from spring through autumn, and the unnamed Seattle hockey team will not begin play until late 2021. Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said that “he doesn’t mind” the fact that the XFL will host a team in Seattle and “in fact, if anything...Seattle should welcome the new league with open arms.”[5]Former Seahawks quarterback Jim Zorn was named the team's first head coach on February 25, 2019.[1] References1. ^1 https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/other-sports/seahawks-legend-jim-zorn-named-coach-and-gm-of-seattles-xfl-franchise/ 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2015/8/60-record-breaking-moments-when-seattle-seahawks-fans-created-an-earthquake-393205|title=60 Record-Breaking Moments: When Seattle Seahawks fans created an earthquake|date=20 August 2015|website=Guinness World Records}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://komonews.com/sports/sports-content/seattle-chosen-as-one-of-8-inaugural-teams-for-new-xfl-football-league|title=Seattle chosen as one of 8 inaugural teams for new XFL football league|first=KOMO|last=Staff|date=5 December 2018|website=KOMO}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/seahawks/pete-carroll-fired-up-about-xfl-coming-to-seattle-but-will-anyone-else-be/|title=Pete Carroll fired up about XFL coming to Seattle, but will anyone else be?|first=Larry Stone /|last=Columnist|date=6 December 2018|website=The Seattle Times}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/pete-carroll-thinks-seattle-should-embrace-xfl-team-that-will-share-the-seahawks-stadium/|title=Pete Carroll thinks Seattle should embrace XFL team that will share the Seahawks' stadium|website=CBSSports.com}} External links
