 Palace
at Auburn Hills
Auburn
Hills, MI
For almost
half of a century, the Pistons have called the Detroit metropolitan area
their home. The team moved to the area from Fort Wayne, IN after the
1956-57 season. They played at Cobo Hall and later moved to the Pontiac
Silverdome in 1978. Home of the Detroit Lions (NFL), the Silverdome was
a massive facility for NBA games to be held. By the mid 1980s,
owner of the Pistons, William Davidson, decided to construct a new
basketball arena for his team. A site in Auburn Hills was chosen to
construct the $70 million arena.
