History of Fort Wayne...with a population in excess of 200,000 people, it is the second largest city in Indiana. Fort Wayne began as an outpost on the western frontier more than 200 years ago. It gained its nickname, the Summit City, by being the highest place between the Maumee and Wabash river basins. Now with a population in excess of 200,000 people, it is the second largest city in Indiana. As such, it offers its citizenry a wide variety of things to do, see, and appreciate. For the sports minded, there are two professional sports teams based here: the United Hockey League s Fort Wayne Komets and the Midwest League for Single A Baseball s Fort Wayne Wizards, whose parent club is the San Diego Padres. Fort Wayne holds several places in sports history. It is the birthplace of the National Basketball Association and the home of the Daisy s, one of five teams in the first professional women s baseball league. Fort Wayne also has the honor of holding the first night baseball game under lights. Fort those who are interested in the performing arts, the Summit City offers venues such as the Fort Wayne Philharmonic, Fort Wayne Ballet, the Civic Theatre, Artlink, Fort Wayne Dance Collective, and Fort Wayne Youtheatre. Some little known trivia about Fort Wayne: the inventor of the television Philo T. Farnsworth was born here, as was fashion designer Bill Blass. Fort Wayne is the home of the washing machine, baking powder, parking meters, magnetic wire, streetlights, and gas pumps. Each team will be assigned a locker room. The locker rooms will be stocked with water, cups, and ice. Bench towels will be available on your team bench at the start of warm-ups. If you need any additional items, please contact the athletics office 48 hours prior to your game. Each team will use the training room for taping and pre-game therapy.
