The XFL will hold its April 26 championship game at the Univ. of Houston's TDECU Stadium, a source confirmed. Late yesterday, the Houston-Harris County Sports Authority issued a statement promising an “XFL Major Announcement” on Thursday, but otherwise did not elaborate. At 2:00pm CT tomorrow, XFL Commissioner Oliver Luck, Houston Sports Authority CEO Janis Burke and Harris County Judge Lina Hildago will officially announce the deal at the stadium. The 40,000-seat facility already plays host to the XFL's Houston Roughnecks, who drew 17,815 to their inaugural contest on Saturday. ESPN will broadcast the title game.
