Xfl 2020 Championship Trophy
comments
During the XFL's inaugural season back in 2001, the league held its championship game at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The league advertised that title game as the 'Million Dollar Game,' and it was won by the Los Angeles Xtreme. Of course, 2020's version of the XFL bears very little resemblance to the failed 2001 incarnation.
