		However, the Pipers were less successful at the gate than they were on the court, and after their first season they were relocated to Minnesota to play as the Minnesota Pipers.
		The team was not financially successful there, either, and returned to Pittsburgh after one season in Minnesota, albeit with almost none of their former success.
		The new name chosen was "Condors", and it competed under this name for two additional seasons (1970-71 and 1971-72) before folding entirely without ever returning to the championship level achieved the first year as the "Pipers".
