Now that the Orlando Predators have former Shock quarterback Kyle Rowley on their side, the front office is so confident the team can maintain winning seasons that it is willing to guarantee success to fans.

ArenaFan.com reported Wednesday the Predators are offering season ticket holders what they call the Predators Performance Guarantee. If they win fewer than 10 games (in an 18 game season) fans get a purchase credit – basically a reimbursement – towards future season tickets. The reimbursement amounts vary depending on the number of losses.

"Professional sports teams should be held accountable to a minimum standard of on-field performance," said Brett Bouchy, a managing partner for the Predators. "Our goal is to revolutionize the sports business industry by making this the new standard.

The Predators play Spokane in Week 8 of the season. The game on May 11 will be at Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena.
