History

[edit]

af2 Days

[edit]

The Talons began in 2000 in Tulsa, Oklahoma as the Tulsa Talons, a charter member of the now-defunct minor league of Arena football Arena Football 2, also known as af2. In 2009 the Talons moved from their original home field at Tulsa Convention Center to the new 18,041 seat arena called the BOK Center.

In terms of victories and championships, the Talons were a successful af2 franchise. The Talons had more wins than any other team in af2 history. The Talons were the first af2 franchise to reach 100 overall franchise victories. During the existence of the league, the Talons did not have a losing season and appeared in all ten af2 playoffs. Also, the Tulsa Talons won two af2 championships, known as the ArenaCup, in the last eight years of the league. The Talons are also the team with the longest streak of consecutive seasons in the AFL system.

Former Head Coach Mitch Allner is the only person in af2 history to win a championship as both player and head coach. In 2004 the Talons were sold to a group led by Henry Primeaux, the owners of automobile dealerships in Oklahoma,[1][unreliable source?] and Paul Ross, an investor.[2] In 2009 three new owners were added to the group.[3]

Transition to AFL

[edit]

In 2010, some af2 teams joined with a handful of AFL teams which had remained in operation after the cancellation of the 2009 season formed a new league that was to be named AF1. The Talons moved from the af2 and joined the league, which became the highest level of indoor American football.[4] However, the league soon decided to use the former Arena Football League name rather than AF1.

Move to San Antonio

[edit]

On September 21, 2011, Talons chairman Paul Ross announced the team was moving to San Antonio due to less than desirable attendance and ticket sales.[5] The team was purchased by a group led by California businessman Jason Lohe and the Talons were introduced to the city of San Antonio on September 27, 2011. The Talons then made a big play in free agency by signing veteran quarterback Aaron Garcia, who was fresh off of leading the Jacksonville Sharks to their first ever ArenaBowl victory.[6] Despite AFL tradition to adopt previous AFL team names and identities for new teams in previous markets, the Talons chose to keep their nickname and not adopt the identity of the long-defunct San Antonio Force, due in part to the preexistence of the Georgia Force (a similar issue forced the Pittsburgh Power to adopt its current name instead of the Gladiators). In March 2012, Lynd Sports LLC, became a partial owner of the Talons.[7] Just days later, Lohe was forced to return to California with family issues, and David Lynd became the principal owner of the franchise.[8]

In December 2013, Lynd was sued for breach of contract when his real estate company (Lynd Company) failed to follow through on a $1.7 million purchase.[9] On January 9, 2014, it was reported that the league had seized control of the franchise, and began immediately looking for new ownership. The league has been in talks with Spurs Sports & Entertainment, owners of the NBA's San Antonio Spurs, WNBA's San Antonio Stars and San Antonio Rampage hockey team, but neither AFL commissioner Jerry Kurz nor a Spurs spokeswoman could comment about the talks at the time.[10]

On October 13, 2014, the AFL announced that the Talons would not be returning to play in 2015 and are dormant.[11]

San Antonio Talons

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
The San Antonio Talons were a professional arena football franchise based in San Antonio, Texas, that competed in the Arena Football League (AFL) from 2012 to 2014. The team played its home games at the Alamodome, a multi-purpose domed stadium with a capacity of over 64,000. The franchise originated as the Tulsa Talons, founded in 2000 as a charter member of the developmental league arenafootball2 (af2). In af2, the Talons achieved significant success, including eight consecutive division championships, two conference titles, ten playoff appearances, and two ArenaCup championships in 2003 and 2007. The team transitioned to the AFL in 2010 following the league's reorganization after a suspension. After two seasons in Tulsa with records of 10-6 in 2010 (reaching the conference semifinals) and 8-10 in 2011, the franchise relocated to San Antonio in September 2011 due to financial challenges faced by its ownership group. During its three seasons in San Antonio, the Talons experienced varied fortunes, compiling an overall record of 27-27. In their inaugural 2012 campaign, led by veteran quarterback Aaron Garcia—who held AFL records for career passing yards and touchdowns—the team posted a strong 14-4 regular-season mark, won the Central Division, and earned the top seed in the National Conference before losing 35-34 in the conference semifinals to the Utah Blaze. The 2013 season saw a 10-8 finish but no playoff berth, while 2014 was a struggle at 3-15 amid ownership instability, as the AFL terminated the original group's membership in January 2014 for failing financial obligations and assumed control of the team. The Talons ceased operations after the 2014 season due to the failure to secure new ownership, while the AFL continued its 2015 season without the franchise.

History

af2 Era in Tulsa

The Tulsa Talons were founded in 2000 as a charter member of arenafootball2 (af2), the developmental league of the Arena Football League, and were based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The team quickly established itself as a competitive force in the league's inaugural season, posting a 9-7 regular-season record and qualifying for the playoffs. Over the decade, the Talons demonstrated consistent excellence, achieving an overall record of 134 wins and 45 losses, including playoff games, which made them one of the most successful franchises in af2 history. The Talons' key accomplishments included two ArenaCup championships, the league's title game, won in 2003 and 2007. They secured eight consecutive division titles, two conference titles, and made 10 playoff appearances across their 10 af2 seasons, participating in postseason play every year of their in the league. These successes were driven by strong team performance and leadership from multiple head coaches, including Skip Foster, who guided the team from 2001 to 2003 and led them to their , and Mitch Allner, who took over in 2007 and won the second title in his debut season as the first af2 coach to claim the ArenaCup both as a player and head coach. A notable milestone came in 2008 when the Talons became the first af2 team to reach 100 total wins. During their af2 tenure, the team played home games primarily at the Tulsa Convention Center from 2000 through 2008 before moving to the newly opened BOK Center in 2009. This period of sustained success solidified the Talons' reputation as a powerhouse in minor-league arena football.

Transition to AFL

The Arena Football 2 (af2) league, which had served as the developmental to the (AFL), effectively dissolved in September 2009 after the AFL suspended operations for its 2009 season due to financial difficulties, leaving af2 teams without a league. In response, a group of af2 franchise owners, along with select independent teams, formed Arena Football 1 (AF1) as a transitional professional league to bridge the gap and sustain arena football at a higher level, with play set to begin in 2010. AF1 acquired the AFL's intellectual property and assets through a bankruptcy auction in December 2009, positioning itself as the successor entity. The Tulsa Talons, having built a strong foundation in af2 with multiple championships that established their competitive legacy, transitioned directly into AF1 for the season while retaining their name and core roster elements. In , AF1 officially rebranded as the revived (AFL), absorbing the former af2 teams like the Talons into the major league and expanding to 16 franchises for a unified professional circuit. This reorganization allowed the Talons to compete at the top tier, drawing on their af2 success as a springboard for entry. Under Mitch Allner, the Talons adapted to the AFL's faster pace and higher in their inaugural 2010 season, finishing the regular season with a 10-6 record and securing a playoff berth in the National Conference. They advanced to the conference semifinals but were eliminated by the Tampa Bay Storm with a 38-68 loss at the BOK Center in Tulsa. The team's performance highlighted their quick adjustment, averaging over 6,500 fans per home game. The proved more challenging, as the Talons again posted an 8-10 regular- record under Allner, missing the entirely amid a divisional . Attendance at the BOK Center declined notably, dropping by more than 1,100 fans per game on average to around 5,400, exacerbated by rising league expenses that strained operations in the Tulsa market. These attendance and financial hurdles underscored the difficulties of sustaining AFL-level play in the region.

Relocation to San Antonio

In 2011, the of the Tulsa Talons announced the of the franchise to , , primarily to ongoing financial challenges from declining and profitability issues in Tulsa. The team's average paid in Tulsa had fallen to approximately 5,100 fans per game during the 2011 season, exacerbating the difficulties following the transition to the (AFL). Upon the move, the franchise rebranded as the San Antonio Talons while retaining the core "Talons" identity, and it established the Alamodome as its home venue starting with the 2012 season. To bolster the team's leadership in its new market, the Talons signed veteran quarterback Aaron Garcia, a former AFL standout with extensive experience, including a recent ArenaBowl championship with the Jacksonville Sharks. Garcia's addition was seen as a stabilizing force to guide the relocated squad through its inaugural year in San Antonio. The 2012 season marked a successful debut for the San Antonio Talons, as they compiled a 14-4 regular-season record, clinched the Central Division title, and earned the top seed in the National Conference before falling to the Utah Blaze in the conference semifinals. Attendance at the Alamodome surged in response to the team's performance and the novelty of arena football's return to the city after a two-decade absence, averaging 7,528 fans per game across the regular season and playoffs. This strong fan turnout underscored the positive immediate impact of the relocation on the franchise's viability.

Final Seasons and Disbandment

The Talons experienced a sharp decline following their successful 2012 debut season in the city, where they posted a 14-4 record and reached the . In 2013, under Johnson, the Talons finished with a 10-8 regular-season record but missed the after losing a tiebreaker to the Chicago Rush. The team struggled with consistency, ending second in the Central Division but unable to secure a postseason berth despite a competitive showing. The 2014 season marked an even steeper downturn, with the Talons compiling a 3-15 record, the worst in franchise , and failing to qualify for the playoffs. A notable low point came in a July 12 overtime loss to the Cleveland Gladiators, 50-47, which highlighted ongoing on-field challenges amid off-field turmoil. Johnson remained as head coach, but the team's performance reflected broader instability. Ownership woes exacerbated the decline, as the original group led by Lynd faced severe financial difficulties, including unpaid rent exceeding $73,000 at the Alamodome from the prior . In January 2014, the seized control of the franchise after the owners failed to meet league obligations, attempting to find new investors while securing a extension at the Alamodome. However, negotiations faltered, and no viable lease beyond 2014 was obtained, compounding debts that even left the team unable to pay its mascot. On October 13, 2014, the AFL officially suspended operations and folded the Talons, citing the inability to secure new ownership despite efforts throughout the year. No revival attempts have materialized as of , ending the franchise's run after 15 seasons overall.

Organization and Personnel

Ownership and Front Office

The Tulsa Talons were established in 2000 under the ownership of Jeff Lund, a local Tulsa businessman, along with a group of regional investors, marking the team's entry into the league. In March 2004, Lund sold the franchise to another group of Tulsa-based investors led by Henry Primeaux III and , who aimed to stabilize and grow the team's operations in the . As the af2 league folded in 2009, Primeaux and Ross joined a consortium of af2 team owners who acquired the League's assets in a $6.1 million bankruptcy settlement, reforming the AFL for the 2010 season under Commissioner Jerry Kurz, who oversaw the transition and integration of franchises like the Talons into the top-tier league. This shift elevated the Talons' profile but increased operational costs, prompting ownership to explore relocation options by 2011. In September 2011, the team was sold to a group led by businessman Jason , CEO of Revolutionary , who served as both principal owner and , facilitating the franchise's move to for the 2012 season to access larger markets and venues like the . 's in the front office focused on the team as the Talons and negotiating local partnerships, though his tenure was brief. In February 2012, real estate investor A. David Lynd acquired partial ownership through his Lynd Group, eventually assuming majority control and influencing day-to-day operations amid growing financial pressures. By late 2013, Lynd's faced severe financial strains, including unpaid debts to vendors, creditors, and even the , leading to operational disruptions and lawsuits. In January , the AFL seized control of the franchise from Lynd due to these issues, placing it under league operation for the season with interim , including Executive Keith Recine, to maintain in before the 's eventual disbandment.

Coaching Staff

The San Antonio Talons' coaching staff during their Arena Football League tenure was led by two primary head coaches, reflecting the franchise's transition from its Tulsa roots. Mitch Allner served as head coach from 2010 to 2011, when the team operated as the Tulsa Talons in the AFL following their promotion from af2. Under Allner, the team compiled an 18-16 regular-season record, including a 10-6 mark in 2010 that secured the Southwest Division title and a playoff berth as the sole af2 graduate to achieve postseason play that year. Following the franchise's relocation to in late , Lee Johnson was appointed and , holding the position from to . Johnson guided the Talons to a 27-27 regular-season record over , highlighted by a 14-4 campaign in that clinched the Central Division and advanced to the conference semifinals. The subsequent years saw a 10-8 finish in , missing the playoffs, and a 3-15 record in , marking the franchise's worst performance. Prior to his head coaching role, Johnson had established himself as a prominent defensive coordinator in the AFL with the Orlando Predators, contributing to multiple postseason appearances. Key assistant coaches played vital roles, particularly during the relocation period, in adapting strategies to the Alamodome and building a competitive roster. Raymond Philyaw Jr. served as offensive coordinator from 2012 to 2014, leveraging his experience from prior AFL stints to implement passing-oriented plays that supported quarterback Aaron Garcia's performance in the division-winning 2012 season. The overall coaching philosophy evolved from the developmental af2 emphasis on player growth under Allner—who had won an ArenaCup as both player and coach in 2007—to a more professional AFL structure under Johnson, focusing on balanced execution amid roster turnover post-relocation.

In 2009, the Talons transitioned to the newly opened BOK Center, a state-of-the-art 19,199-seat multi-purpose arena designed with advanced acoustics, lighting, and flexible seating that enhanced the arena football experience through closer sightlines and improved fan amenities like luxury suites and concourse concessions. The move to this modern facility provided a significant attendance boost, revitalizing fan engagement and operational efficiency for the team's final seasons in Tulsa. The BOK Center's arena football configuration accommodated around 16,582 fans, with features such as a raised end-zone seating design optimizing visibility for the high-scoring, fast-paced game.
