Where did Wilt Score his 100 pt. game at (city/state)?

One of its greatest games, took place between the Philadelphia Warriors and the New York Knicks on March 2, 1962 at Hersheypark Arena in Hershey, Pennsylvania. And Wilt played for Warriors. The Warriors won, 169-147, setting what was then a record for the most combined points in a game by both teams. But the game is most remembered for the 100 points scored by Warriors center Wilt Chamberlain, who demolished the NBA single-game scoring record.There was little advance excitement about the game, which was a meaningless late-season match. Chamberlain, the Warriors' star center, had spent the night in New York, partying all night with a female companion. With no sleep and suffering from a hangover, he boarded the train to Philadelphia at 8 am, met several friends at the Philadelphia train station and had a long lunch with them, thus almost missing the team bus to Hershey. The other players were similarly bored. Warriors player York Larese said: "The biggest thrill in my life was to see that [the famous Hershey chocolate factories]. There was nothing exciting about the Knicks playing the Warriors in Hershey. Chocolate was more exciting."

Warrior teammate Tom Meschery commented how run-down the Hersheypark Arena was: "The thing was that the Warriors owner and a local promoter arranged a deal: they placed a gym at our disposal for practising free of charge and we had to play three matches of the season in their god-forsaken place... the town of Hershey was built around a huge chocolate factory, everything there became permeated with the smell of chocolate. It was practically impossible to stay indoors, people felt sick. I was just dreaming to leave the place as fast as I could."

On a cold, rainy Friday night, only 4,124 spectators paid to see the match, partly more to see the footballers from the local Philadelphia Eagles, who played a show basketball game against their colleagues from the Baltimore Colts before the NBA game started. The opposing Knicks were shorthanded, because their starting center Phil Jordon was injured. So, the inexperienced backup pivot Darrall Imhoff had to play against the scoring champion Chamberlain.
