Don’t be surprised if you start seeing Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson around town.
The XFL, for which Johnson is one of the owners, has named Southlake Carroll’s Dragon Stadium as one of its practice facilities alongside Northwest ISD Stadium and Vernon Newsom Stadium, according to a press release. The selection comes after the league named Arlington as its new football operations hub.
“The XFL has officially landed in the great football state of Texas,” Johnson says via press release. “We are bringing a new kind of football experience to fans, players and partners, harnessing the power of modern technology, content and interactivity to create a new standard for the future of sports and live entertainment.”
With teams in Arlington, Houston, Las Vegas, Orlando, San Antonio, Seattle, St. Louis and Washington, D.C., the 2023 XFL season is set to start on Feb. 18, 2023. For more information, visit XFL.com.
