The Battlehawks made their St. Louis debut yesterday and, wow, was it something to "ka-kaw" about, everybody.
St. Louis fans — thirsty for pro football — welcomed this new era with a city-wide party just one day after the rager that was the Mardi Gras parade. (We're partying professionals and tailgating experts.)
The team returned the love and a 29-9 victory over the New York Guardians at the sold-out Dome at America's Center.
Fly high, BattleHawks. Fly high.
