AUBURN HILLS, MI-The Palace of Auburn Hills–home to the NBA champion Detroit Pistons–is about to get even more palatial. Owners have announced they have invested more than $5 million in the venue as year’s basketball season begins.

“We strive to provide our guests with the best experience possible when they attend events at The Palace,” says Tom Wilson, president and chief executive officer of the Pistons and Palace Sports and Entertainment. “Over the years, we have put more than $50 million back into the facility to keep it the nation’s finest. We see the start of Pistons season as the beginning of our yearly cycle, so we focus our energies to have the building in utmost preparation for the opening tip.”

On the outside, there has been extensive refurbishing of the on-site parking lot allowing up to 700 additional vehicles. The project also involved landscaping enhancements surrounding the building, on the perimeter grounds and berms throughout the lot, and a large-scale resurfacing and re-lining of the parking areas.
