Went last night to see the basketball game. Pistons against Knicks. Security personal, ushers, concession stands workers, all were very pleasant and helpful. I was mostly cheering for Pistons, but also for Knicks a little bit, it was an entertaining game to watch. I did like the fact that even though it was a home game for Pistons, ushers and fans were still friendly even when I cheered for Knicks. So it wasn't any hostility and environment was friendly. Parking was $10 and it was easy to park. We enjoyed the Palace of Auburn Hills and will go to another game when in the area.
Unless you are very small in size, be sure to read this. I can't emphasize enough how bad the seats are here. I sat in section 125, row k, so we had pretty good seats. But I am 6'0" and only 185 lbs but I couldn't fit into their incredibly narrow seats. I watched the entire Pistons game with my arms in front of me, not being able to move at all. I am stunned they could expect people to sit in these uncomfortable seats, if you are a kid you will be fine, otherwise you're going to be miserable.
We were able to attend a Pistons game and have a tour of the Palace. This was for the first Homeschool night special. There were over 300 in attendance. The tour was very nice and the game was fun.
The new Palace is awesome place, presents itself well and easy to navigate. Almost not a bad seat in the place location wise and with the jumbo screen there isn't a bad seat in reality! Great place for games and shows!
Very entertaining night here @ The Palace of Auburn Hills. The Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful during the game to keep you entertained. Halftime entertainment was awesome with B.O.B. as our halftime entertainment, and in between timeouts very fun and entertaining game. Recommended highly to any family on a budget.
Go see a Pistons game and look for the security guy at dance cam.dont forget to get some buffalo wings inside the gim
Not great... not bad.... just another arena concert... been here many times and unless you manage to get on line for a pre sale and quickly get seats on either side of the stage... you'll binoculars... and that's no fun
It's clean, there is lots of parking, and it's relatively easy to get in and out compared to other Detroit venues. Been to concerts, graduations, and sporting events here - no complaints about safety or cleanliness.
We were in Detroit from Mississauga for the auto show and decided we would go see a Piston's game. While we are not a fan of either the Pistons or the 76's we thought it would be fun to see a game in Detroit. It was great! The in stadium announcer is awesome. His passion for the team comes through and had you on your feet. The stadium was clean and well organized. The concessions had a great selection of items and the food was both warm and good. Traffic control was good and there was ample parking.
Easy to find the venue, even at night, and to park the car; better yet, excellent traffic control/directions for leaving after the event.
