Why moving the Pistons downtown makes financial sense

Since the 1970s, the Detroit Pistons have not played within the city limits. While they have stayed in the Metro region, they have been based out of the municipalities of Pontiac and Auburn Hills over the last 38 years.

Soon, the Detroit Pistons could be moving back to the Motor City and its downtown core.

Team owner Tom Gores has been negotiating with Olympia Entertainment to relocate the franchise from the Palace of Auburn Hills to Little Caesars Arena at I-75 and Woodward Avenue over the past few weeks, according to Crain’s Detroit Business.
