Dear Shock Fans,
It is with much regret that Palace Sports & Entertainment is announcing the transfer of ownership of the Detroit Shock to the newest WNBA franchise in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
I would like to thank you for your support and dedication for our team. Over the past 12 years – from our days as a new franchise to the difficult initial years to seven straight playoff appearances to our three championships – the Shock and their fans have experienced the kind of relationship that few teams are able to enjoy.
Unfortunately, as with the majority of businesses in our area, the current state of the economy has presented us with incredible challenges. We, like many of you, have had to make some very difficult decisions – ones we hoped we never had to make – and sadly, this move to Tulsa is one of those decisions.
On behalf of our coaches, players and staff I would personally like to thank you for all that you’ve done to help make the Shock champions. We will never forget the support and love you showed us over the past 12 seasons. They were something very special. I hope you’ll join me in rooting for our team as they embark on a new journey in Tulsa.
Sincerely,
Tom Wilson
President
Palace Sports & Entertainment
My question is didn't the Shock have the largest crowd to every watch a WNBA game? How much money did they make on that game? And how much money did they lose on the Allen Iverson deal. I'm sure they lost a lot of money on that deal.
Donna needs to do a better job on helping the owners stay in business. We need the WNBA to
be around for another 50 years. I am still sad over the Houston Comets folding.
Donna please do something and fast!
