Some football history ..........

The Dayton Triangles were an original franchise of the American Professional Football Association(now the National Football League) in 1920.

The Triangles were based in Dayton, Ohio, and took their nickname from their home field, Triangle Park, which was located at the confluence of the Great Miami and Stillwater Rivers in north Dayton.

They were the longest-lasting traveling team in the NFL (1920–1929), and the last such "road team" until the Dallas Texans in 1952, who, coincidentally, descended from the Dayton franchise.

My brother went to Steele High School in Dayton, graduated in 1939. Their teams had to practice at Triangle Park, as the school was located in downtown Dayton and they only had a gym at the school. I have been to Triangle Park on many occasions to watch games and practices. I have heard many stories about the old football team. I knew players, some were patients of my Dads, and knew team doctors who traveled with them.
