— After Tuesday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Little Caesars Arena downtown, there’s been some intrigue about how the Pistons would fit into the picture. The arena began during the construction phase as a hockey arena and when the Pistons got on board, much of the framework had been completed.
Both the Pistons and Red Wings will begin their regular seasons next month at the new arena, which was opened to the media for tours on Wednesday morning. Though construction crews still are completing many of the final touches, the initial views are impressive.
The two teams will have separate locker rooms, and the Red Wings’ was bigger than the previous one at Joe Louis Arena.
