According to Greg Campbell, chief financial officer of the Detroit Pistons and Palace Sports and Entertainment, the team’s planned move downtown to Little Caesars Arena may be in jeopardy. A lawsuit filed in federal court on June 1st may end up proving to be more than a mere nuisance, as the NBA’s upcoming board meeting may be hard pressed to approve the move if there are outstanding financial issues.
Per the Detroit Free Press, Campbell stated in a sworn affidavit that the lawsuit (filed by activist Robert Davis and City Clerk candidate D. Etta Wilcoxon) might hamper the team’s plans to be housed in the arena in time for the preseason in October.
