Under the leadership of head coach Heron O'Neal, the team played their home games at the Rimrock Auto Arena at MetraPark in Billings, Montana.

On October 7, 2010 the Outlaws announced they would cease operations due to not having enough money for the 2011 season, this was in large part due to a disagreement with county commissioners over funding non-insured losses suffered during the 2010 tornado that severely damaged the Rimrock Auto Arena.[1]
