"We take them at their word in their recent press release - that they'd be back. Even in worst case scenario, though, it doesn't affect us a lick"
The Arkansas Twisters have a sound and stable financial model that they follow. As well as a strong and eager fan base that is geared up and ready to cheer on their Twisters as they compete for a Southwest Division Title and an ArenaCup Championship.
