The Texas Revolution is an American professional indoor football team which is a founding member of Champions Indoor Football (CIF), and the current Champions Cup holders. Based in Allen, Texas, the Revolution plays its home games at the Allen Event Center. The 2015 season was the team's seventeenth season as a football franchise, sixth in Texas, fourth as the "Revolution", and second in Champions Indoor Football.
Founded in 2000 as the Arkansas Twisters, the Little Rock-based team played 10 seasons in af2 before that league folded. The team jumped to the Indoor Football League as the Arkansas Diamonds for the 2010 season. Remaining in the IFL, the team moved to Texas to become the Allen Wranglers for the 2011 and 2012 seasons. The franchise grabbed headlines in 2012 when former NFL standout Terrell Owens played 8 games for the Wranglers before being cut in late May 2012. The team became the Texas Revolution after a shift in ownership before the 2013 season. After five seasons in the IFL, the team shifted to Champions Indoor Football for its inaugural season in 2015.
The franchise began play as the Arkansas Twisters in 2000 as the only professional football team in the state of Arkansas. The team played 10 seasons as a charter member of af2, the "developmental" league of the original Arena Football League. The Twisters played their home games at Verizon Arena in North Little Rock, Arkansas. The team enjoyed success on the field, twice reaching the league's championship game. After the AFL took a season off and was forced into bankruptcy in 2009, the af2 was dissolved and the Twisters were announced as a planned charter member of Arena Football 1.
