The Palace of Auburn Hills is not too far from Oakland University (just drive a few miles north on the I-75 express way). This facility has been opened and has been functioning since August 1988. This beautiful facility is used for entertainment and sports usage. Most of us living here in the Metro-Detroit area have been to the Palace, either for a Pistons’ basketball game or for a entertainment purposes such as concerts, shows, etc. Let’s go back to who the Pistons are for those who are not familiar… they are our very own Detroit NBA team! The games are held here in Auburn Hills at the Palace. What I think is cool is that the Pistons basketball team is the only team not played in the Detroit area (not to say many attempts have occurred to move the Pistons downtown with the other sports, but it has not worked). However, this year we have not seen a basketball game because of the NBA lockout, but let’s just hope that changes soon! The Palace is known for the home of the Detroit Pistons!! This facility also holds many functions for entertainment purposes. This can include concerts (Britney Spears or Enrique or even Lady Gaga from my experience) or shows (Disney on Ice or comedy shows). Other functions that occur at the Palace are wrestling sports or even college basketball. Let me mention Oakland University’s College Basketball team will be playing U of M on Saturday December, 10th. Tickets seem pretty fair ($15 for general admission, $25 for reserved seats, and $35 for VIP seats). It would be nice these two basketball teams play against one another (at least there is going to be some basketball action occurring at the Palace)!
