Detroit Vipers
April 7, 2012
The Vipers were owned by Palace Sports & Entertainment, owners of the Detroit Pistons of the NBA. For a time in the mid-to-late 1990’s, Vipers games at the suburban Palace at Auburn Hills were a popular take in hockey-crazed Detroit. By 1999 the Vipers claimed 24 of the top 25 single-game crowds in the 50+ year history of the IHL.
