San Antonio officially got its Arena Football League franchise on Wednesday, importing it from Oklahoma.

The management of the Tulsa Talons, in a press release, confirmed that the financially embattled ballclub has been sold to a partnership headed by California businessman Jason Lohe and will begin play in the Alamodome in March.

The team, which will play nine home games in San Antonio, will be called the San Antonio Talons. A draft schedule circulated to league owners this week has the San Antonio club opening against the Pittsburgh Power.

“That deal was signed and executed (Wednesday) morning,” Talons managing partner Paul Ross told the Tulsa World on Wednesday.

The 36-year-old Lohe, CEO of Revolutionary Sports, will serve as CEO and general manager of the franchise, which will include a new front office, coaches and players. He could not be reached for comment.

According to the World, Ross and his partners will retain a financial stake in the ballclub. Terms were not announced.

“Hopefully, it will go better in San Antonio, and I think it will,” Ross said. “This was one of the best markets (the league) looked at when considering the expansion and possible relocation of franchises.”

A news conference is being organized for early next week at the Alamodome.
