Zollner Pistons when they played their home games at North Side. Then the Coliseum was built on the "Bypass" around Fort Wayne for a bigger venue to compete with the larger markets. I believe that's when the team name changed to Fort Wayne Pistons. Not going off resources here, just memory. The Coliseum hosted the All-Star game in 1953. Boston was terrified hosting it the following season hoping they could live up to what Fort Wayne did the year before. I believe the Piston's first season in Detroit was 1958. There's a lot of sports history in Fort Wayne, including the Fort Wayne Kekiongas who were part of the women's softball league that was featured in the movie 'A League of Their Own.' Not only the birthplace of the NBA, but also home of the first nighttime baseball game. Allegedly, Babe Ruth hit his longest home run of his career in an exhibition game in Fort Wayne.

Read the GID rules and you’ll see why rumors aren’t allowed. 2nd and foremost who said The Tenderloins and The Woofs were constipated or whatever?

Brilliant…..
