Cause the palace of Auburn Hills is a fukking hike from Detroit especially when you add up traffic, and is only worth driving in the freezing weather when the team is making an effort to ball.

:snoop: @ Bill Davidson moving the Pistons outta the D.

Did they have problems getting people to the Palace when they were winning?

nikka begging for my attention. Let me ask you something did the Lakers ruin this past decade for you by being in the finals 7 out of 10 years? It was quite a delightful period for me thank you very much, maybe one day your favorite sports team will be that successful and you will understand the joy of watching elite competition.

first year I was working at the TD Garden, think it was 06-07, we had a 1 pm sunday Bruins game and the pats played the Colts at 1 also(Both teams were undefeated at the time I think)....they said that there was 2200 paying customers in the arena and halfway through the first period opened the arena up to the public....that may not be as bad as those pics, but Boston is a sports town, a hockey town and it was crazy to see that little of people in the arena.

The Empire State
One reason could be location

The Nets had this problem a few years back when they were still in the Meadowlands. That place was a bytch to get to. This was before that had that rail line that runs out there now. And when you did drive, the traffic on route 3 is a bytch. It's in the middle of swampland and the area is just dreary as fukk.

Da city where the skinny nikkas die
You make less money that way and cheapen your product
I'm sure the tv ratings for the piston are decent

i disagree. you build fans, its a good look for the community, and you have an excited crowd.

lets say that crowd equates to pistons wins... then guess what? the rich bandwagoners come back.

i dont see how doing this is worse than the current state. tv ratings wont change either.​
