The XFL is back in the Pacific Northwest after a three-year hiatus, and the Seattle Sea Dragons opened up Lumen Field for more professional football.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
The Sea Dragons came home to play in front of their own fans Feb. 23 and gain some Seattle support. A decent crowd came out in the below freezing temperatures to watch their home team take on the St. Louis Battlehawks. This came after a brutal last second fumble in their opening game of the season Feb. 19 on the road at Washington, D.C., losing 22-18.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
“For a Thursday crowd, it was a great atmosphere. It was pretty cool to get up here and play in front of our home crowd…We’re gonna need them here the rest of the year,” said quarterback Ben DiNucci.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
