Taking player satisfaction surveys, regional weather, ease of transportation and venue appeal into consideration, the league has decided to keep the two most popular venues (Cleveland and Kissimmee). The league also added 3 additional events to extend the season from March to October. The season will kick off in the city of Las Vegas. After that the NXL will go to Dallas, Nashville, Cleveland, and the season will end yet again in beautiful Kissimmee with the NXL World Cup.
