The Detroit Pistons played their home games in the Palace of Auburn Hills from 1988 until 2017, until they decided to move back to downtown Detroit and share Little Caesars Arena with the Detroit Red Wings.
Yes, it sounds cool. A brand new $863 million arena in the heart of downtown Detroit right on Woodward Avenue, a new start for the Pistons in a new venue. Heck, I’ve been there and it’s beautiful! That’s not my problem.
The problem is all of the promises surrounding it, specifically from the Ilitch family.
The Ilitch family are the current owners of the pizza chain Little Caesars, as well as the Detroit Red Wings and the Detroit Tigers.
