The game was played at The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis and fans flocked to the match, breaking the XFL's attendance record. A total of 38,310 fans were in attendance on Sunday. This historic game also sets the record for professional spring football games.

A.J. McCarron led the Battlehawks to a 24-11 victory, throwing for 214 yards and two crucial touchdowns. Former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Darrius Shepherd accounted for 91 yards and a touchdown.
