Conceptualized and built in 1987-88 by Arena Associates, consisting of late Pistons managing partner William Davidson, along with David Hermelin and Robert Sosnick, The Palace was immediately recognized as an all-encompassing entertainment venue and quickly became one of the nation’s top concert facilities when it opened in 1988. After just one season, The Palace was honored by two entertainment trade publications, being named “New Venue of the Year” by Performance and “Best New Concert Venue” by Pollstar. With the cost of the building and every dollar spent on additions and improvements being privately financed, The Palace continues to uphold its reputation as one of the world’s premier sports and entertainment venues.

In 2005, The Palace undertook its largest enhancement project since its opening in 1988. A $30 million expansion introduced the 65,000 square foot North Entrance, named North Pavilion, which opened April 2006. The pavilion’s lower level is home to exclusive clubs and suites. The President’s Club, which opened in February 2006, boasts a central club/bar area and eight luxury private suites averaging 1,000 square feet. It is accessible by direct entrance from the arena. The pavilion’s concourse level created a dramatic new grand entrance/lobby, which provides guests with additional concourse space, additional box office windows and a new retail area. The new area also increased dining options and amenities inside The Palace with café areas featuring Buffalo Wild Wings, the Red Bull Bar and Captain Morgan’s Bar. The upper level of the pavilion is the luxurious Pistons VIP Club.

The Palace has undergone roughly $141.5 million in venue upgrades throughout the years since its opening in 1988. The most recent renovations conclude a three-year improvement plan which began under ownership of Tom Gores and Platinum Equity. Improvements included 53 renovated suites (24 club-level and 29 concourse-level), Suite Terrace upgrades, an updated West Atrium entrance, an expanded Pistons locker room, a newly developed entertainment complex and locker room area, a refreshed media work room named The Matt Dobek Press Room, installation of an in-arena theatrical lighting system and a sparkling Courtside Broadcast Studio. Additionally, the main concourse was updated, Club West was remodeled and Club 300 was constructed – a full-service open-air lounge on the third-level suite concourse with direct views of the arena floor. DAS WiFi wireless access, digital menu boards and fan-engaging Twitter boards on the upper arena fascia all enhance the fan experience.
SUITES: 175 total. 164 suites overlook the arena, some as close as 16 rows from the floor. This trend started with The Palace’s construction and is now widely copied in nearly every arena built today. The 100-level and 300-level suites have private concourses. There are also eight suites without arena views in the President’s Club and three suites without arena views in the Courtside Club.
