Detroit's effort to revive the WNBA is spearheaded by Pistons owner Tom Gores and a prominent investor group that includes local sport leaders like Sheila Ford Hamp, CEO of General Motors, and NFL quarterback Jared Goff. The proposed team aims to recapture the spirit and previous success of the Detroit Shock, who thrived in the league before relocating in 2009. The city plans to build a dedicated practice facility, showing deep community support. Local leaders express confidence in Detroit's ability to embrace a WNBA team and enhance its sports legacy.
For the WNBA this is home, and our bid represents an unprecedented opportunity for the league to come full circle and effect a long-hoped-for Detroit homecoming.
Detroit is a sports town that loves its teams deeply and consistently shows up with unwavering passion. We're here to rekindle that legacy.
