Bring Back the Detroit Shock
Sign Now
A source speaking on condition of anonymity says that the Detroit Shock are moving to Tulsa to play in the BOK Center, as has been reported in the Detroit Free Press and the Tulsa World.
What the WNBA doesn't know is that they're leaving behind one of their more successful franchises, which has bred several superstars and at points has played better than their brother team the Pistons...At the 2006 WNBA Finals deciding game, moved to Joe Louis Arena (because of the Palace's booking conflict) the Shock drew a women's pro ball record of 22,076 to see them win their second of three titles. Even this past year, they drew 8,004 fans-good for fifth place in the league (especially in perhaps the biggest victim city of the USA's economy woes)
So, the support is there-but unfortunately, so are the shenanigans. We, therefore, urge the WNBA to make sure the Shock name, logo, colors, and history (including its three WNBA titles) stays behind in Detroit, and that they work as hard as they can to make sure that Detroit gets a team again probably as soon as the 2011 WNBA season! Then you'll once again see what a great sports city Detroit can be!

I cannot believe Mrs D is betraying the city and the Shock fans in such a manner. The economy forced us to give up our Piston tickets due to a job loss and now the Palace ownership is taking away the other team we love. You know what they say about karma.

Thousands of hearts broken so a billionaire can save a minute fraction of her wealth...This is just beyond sad.

My family loves The Shock. We have been fans from the beginning. We would love to attend more games in person, but the drive to Auburn Hills is too long.
