The Detroit Pistons have been in discussions with the Ilitch family, owners of the Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings, about moving back to downtown Detroit. The Ilitches also own Little Caesars Arena which is under construction in Detroit’s Midtown area at Woodward Avenue and I-75.
This arena will be the home of the Detroit Red Wings next season after playing at Joe Louis Arena since 1979, and it appears that the Pistons are just a couple loose ends away from coming to an agreement with the Ilitches to make Little Caesars Arena their new home.
According to Detroit’s Local 4 NBC affiliate, there is actionable information to indicate all parties are prepared for the green light.
