Detroit Pistons History

One of the most storied franchises in NBA history, the Pistons moved to Detroit in 1957 from Fort Wayne, Indiana, where they were owned by Fred Zollner and known as the Fort Wayne (Zollner) Pistons. The Pistons played at Olympia Stadium for four years, then moved to Cobo Arena. In 1974, Bill Davidson purchased the team, and in 1978, the team began playing at the Pontiac Silverdome.

Prior to the start of the 1988–89 season, the Pistons moved to play at The Palace of Auburn Hills and won back-to-back NBA Championships in 1989 and 1990 with the "Bad Boys" teams. Detroit's "Goin' to Work" squad picked up the franchise's third NBA Championship in 2004 in the midst of making six consecutive trips to the Eastern Conference Finals. 

In addition to the numerous team accomplishments, the Pistons also have had a list of great players and coaches who have contributed to the team's long history of success. Detroit has retired jersey numbers for Chuck Daly (2), Isiah Thomas (11), Joe Dumars (4), Dave Bing (21), Bob Lanier (16), Dennis Rodman (10), Vinnie Johnson (15), Bill Laimbeer (40), Ben Wallace (3), Chauncey Billups (1) and Richard Hamilton (32). Daly, Thomas, Dumars, Bing, Lanier, Rodman and Davidson all have been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

    Alive

    by Shannon on 3/17/24Little Caesars Arena - Detroit

    I've never been to a live basketball game before. Our seats were almost court side and were priced fairly. The staff was friendly and the entertainment surpassed my expectations! The Detroit Pistons were on point and won the game. I enjoyed their on-court presence. This night made me feel like I came alive!

    Tight fit

    by Hutch42 on 3/14/24Little Caesars Arena - Detroit

    It was a good experience but the leg room is horrible. I have very short legs and was cramped. It was disappointing for a newer arena.

    Great Basketball Experience

    by Nat DiBa on 3/12/24Little Caesars Arena - Detroit

    Well organized venue, terrific entertainment between play, great food options — and a competitive team that kept it close for most of the game. Yes, the Pistons are low-ranked team but we still had a fabulous time. Easy parking and a coordinated traffic effort after the game made it worth the trip to Detroit.

    Dunkin' in muh 70s

    by Hazz on 2/7/24Little Caesars Arena - Detroit

    I'm in my 70s, and to be honest, the sound in the Arena was just too loud for someone my age. Having said that, I want to emphasize that I had an incredibly wonderful day because the experience gave me a valuable lesson: In the section where I sat, there were quite a few "kid fans"(between ages 4 and 12). Their playful dancing and constant vocal support added great energy. If not for them, I might have retreated into being a "grouchy old man", but their presence helped me to see how appealing the event was for them, and that helped to keep me in an appreciative mood. I grew to really enjoy the excitement of the whole thing. I could see how well planned things were. There were no lulls in the action -- not at half-time, or at any point in the game. Overall, it was a marvelous experience. I'd never been inside Little Caesar's Arena. It's a beautiful place. The food is terrible for anyone who cares about eating healthily, but I know it's not intended to form the basis of a steady diet, so I have no complaints. Sorry the Pistons lost, but that continues their current trend. Since they can't get any worse, each victory is a marvelous surprise.

    Grandma and Grandson for a 5 Star Pistons Game

    by Paquita Farmer on 2/6/24Little Caesars Arena - Detroit

    My best decision was to select the Pistons vs the Wizards noon scheduled basketball game to take my 10 yr old grandson Nathan. He told me how much he loved the lighting and the connected better with this indoor basketball event than the outdoor ones LOL. He was so excited to see the many young dance teams, the Maskot dancing, the Piston Dancers who kept it classy and talented. His little appetite held on to Chicken tenders w/fries, Little Caesars Pepperoni slices and the best of popcorn. Thank you all for creating such a wonderful experience for us. Grandma

    Lifelong Pistons Fan

    by DaWyte_Beno on 1/26/24

    First time attending the games since they moved downtown. Upper Bowl was cramped no room to move. Attended my second game was sure to get lower bowl seats and was happy with the seats. Our third game is lower than the second and can’t wait to experience that as well. I will say every where I sat has been a good view of the court. Good experience plan on being a regular in the future. GO PISTONS and just play Detroit Basketball.
