The Arkansas Twisters are a professional arena football team based in the Little Rock area. They are a charter member of af2, the minor league of the Arena Football League, and play their home games at ALLTEL Arena in North Little Rock. The Twisters are currently coached under head coach Chris Siegfried.
Founded in the year 2000, the Twisters have already set AFL attendance records. Not only do they set attendance records, but they also have a history of sending players to the National Football League. One of these players who made it to the NFL is Reggie Swinton. Reggie was about to give up on making the NFL and football as a career, until he gave it one more shot with the Arkansas Twisters in 2001. He went on to set every single season record the team has. The Dallas Cowboys took notice of this and he signed a contract with Dallas and has gone on to have a great career as a receiver and return specialist in the NFL.
The Twisters have had some success, they have made the playoffs 3 out of 7 years and have played in the conference championship twice. Also in 2002, the Twisters did something that many teams have not, they scored 100 points in a single game. They have done many great things on the field, but just as many off the field. Since their first year they have helped out in the community. The only thing left to do is win a championship, for the community to enjoy.
