SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Seals indoor lacrosse team will play the Vancouver Warriors on the flight line at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar on Feb. 22.
The "Rumble on the Runway" will be the first regular-season professional sporting event on an active Marine base and the second ever on an active military base. The Miami Marlins beat the Atlanta Braves 5-2 at Fort Bragg on July 3, 2016.
"San Diego is one of the largest and proudest military cities in the United States. We have over 11,000 Marines, sailors and civilians who live and work aboard this base and we take and relish every opportunity we have to open our doors and collaborate with organizations that live within the community," base spokesman Capt. Matthew Gregory said Monday.
