ST. LOUIS — Football is back in St. Louis! Dana got the chance to go check out the new XFL team, the St. Louis BattleHawks, ahead of their home opener on Sunday
In the same facility where the Rams practiced, the St. Louis BattleHawks have taken flight. On Sunday, St. Louis’ new football team is expected to draw a crowd on the same field where the Rams played. They have brought football back to St. Louis, and excitement is building.
Just like the tickets, the merchandise is hard to find. The BattleHawks are making footballs, shirts, and jerseys as fast as they can!
As for the differences between the XFL and the NFL, the rules are different pertaining to kickoff and overtime. Fans will also notice that games are designed to be under 3 hours. The XFL doesn’t have cheerleaders, so the players bring the energy to the crowd themselves.
The home opener is Sunday at The Dome at 2PM vs the New York Guardians. Learn more at xfl.com/teams/st-louis.
