I love all the pitching on how it's gonna bring so many jobs to Detroit. Sure. They just want another $95 million in taxpayer money.
 
it will cost jobs, its not like they are going to hire "special" pistons only workers, the people in auburn hills will loose their jobs and the Little caesars people will get more hours.

Yea... the disrespect for the National Anthem thing and the coach crying about trump has got me not the slightest bit interested in the Pistons...

Announcement tomorrow at 3 PM. Sharing the building with the Red Wings.

Not super thrilled. I've had season tickets for 17 seasons, so good times at the Palace, but primarily hate the logistics of downtown.

Oh well!

That's how I feel.... Zero parking downtown... its great if your traveling into and out of the stadiums with the crowd.... If you stop off and grab a bite, few beers the trip back to your vehicle in a shit hole empty lot littered with plenty of crap to pop a hole in your tire can be interesting...

Good. I was at the Pistons game on Saturday night and getting out of the parking lot was a disaster. I'd rather deal with 75 and the Lodge and be home in 20 minutes after the game vs 75/Square Lake/Telegraph.

Your defiantly doing it wrong.... traveling out of the palace is a breeze.... not sure I hit my brakes from the lot to my driveway.... took me a few visits to figure it out.

The charter bus company I work for drives the visiting teams to the game ... it will be easier for us to get them on their plane after a game ... Palace to oakland county airport is a shitty drive ... downtown to metro is a breeze
 
I'd rather visit Detroit than Auburn Hills any day.
A mixed-use stadium is vastly more efficient and I look forward to going to back to back Wings and Pistons games.
The job creation stuff sounds like baloney to me as anything they gain will be lost in Auburn Hills aside from the temporary construction jobs.

I care not about efficiency because Billy Davidson built the Palace with his own cash!

Should go without saying that the Palace, which is STILL a very nice facility, was built for $75 million at the time! The new Little Ceasers development, which started out at $450 million, is now over $800 million! Gee, wonder why?

When the public foots a big chunk of the bill, shit always gets expensive in a hurry.
 
Agreed that the Palace is still a nice facility. If anything they should have made that dual use instead of building Caesars and probably would have saved $700 million.I think tax payers should contribute roughly zero to construction. This is such an obvious rip off of tax payers (in a mostly bankrupt city) it's not even funny. How does the city benefit? Jobs selling hotdogs and pretzels? GMAFB
