XBL rule changes
XBL has a number of rule changes.

Venue size
The venue size and seating arrangement are not regulated in XBL. Problems ensued when the Rhode Island Destroyers' first home field, Cardines Field, was considered too small for the league, and neighbors in houses around the stadium complained of noise from the venue. As as a result, the Destroyers moved to Fort Adams State Park, where they play to this day.

San Siro, the Italy Bombers' home venue, is considered poorly suited as a baseball venue by fans, being normally used for association football. This has resulted in tarp-covered sections of seating and blue plastic-covered shipping containers acting as the pitcher's eye, and an incident where a goal pole collapsed onto the field during a game against the Las Vegas Gamblers. Velodromo Vigorelli, the Bombers' home venue in case San Siro is unavailable, is also considered poorly suited for baseball, being normally used for cycling and American football.

The Taylor Arena at the Mayo Civic Center, the Rochester Surge's home venue, has had complaints of inadequate seating arrangements and poor security.
