Tulsa - An investor with the Tulsa Talons tells NewsChannel 8 the team will play in Tulsa at the BOK Center next year.
Michael Johnson says team officials had positive and constructive conversations with the BOK Center and the City of Tulsa and says both sides are working on a joint announcement.
It comes after NewsChannel 8 first broke the story Monday night that the Talons were possibly considering a move to San Antonio to be a part of a restructured indoor football league after team ownership became unhappy with a new lease agreement proposal they received from the downtown BOK Center.
San Antonio had been the home of an Arena Football League franchise before the league suspended operations this past season, then folded.
The Talons are the winningest franchise in the history of AF2, having won 134 games in ten seasons. Tulsa also owns two ArenaCup championships, winning in 2003 and again in 2007.
