Brooklyn Visitations
The Brooklyn Visitations (also known as the Triangles) were an American basketball team based in Brooklyn, New York City, that was a member of the Metropolitan Basketball League and the American Basketball League.[1] The Visitations' home court was Prospect Hall, where fans were made to check their guns at the door.[2]
After the 1935/36 season the team became the Paterson Visitations.[3] Then, during the 1st half of the 1936/37 season, the team moved back to Brooklyn on November 21, 1936, and became the Brooklyn Visitations again.
