History

Template:Main The Force played their home games at HemisFair Arena,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> then the home of the San Antonio Spurs. They set two records for futility, becoming the first arena football team ever to be shut out in a game, losing to the Orlando Predators 50–0 on June 13, 1992,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and the all-time lowest record for field goal percentage in a season, 11.8% (4–34), among three different kickers. The team ceased operations upon the completion of the season, citing that there were not enough available dates at HemisFair Arena or the Alamodome for the team to host games.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> There was an attempt by Marc Reich to bring the team to Hartford, Connecticut, but he was unable to convince the city to purchase the rights to the Force, as it was believed there wasn't a high enough return on investment.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Arena football returned to San Antonio in 2012 when the Tulsa Talons franchise relocated to the Alamodome.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
