The Palace of Auburn Hills Tour
|
|
This area is used for media interviews (for TV shows produced by
the Pistons, etc.) inside the Courtside Club.
|
|
The tour guide talking to Carlos, Jayden, Samantha, Drew, and

Another TV interview room inside the Palace.
|
|
The entrance to the Matt Dobek Press Room inside the Palace, an
area where reporters can write their stories.
|
|
Jay, Carlos, and Sam exploring the visitors locker room. During
the season, the couches aren't there. Instead, they are replaced by
folding chairs for the visiting teams players.
|
|
Drew, Sam, and Carlos talking to the tour guide inside one of
the gigantic doorways used by the players.
|
|
Although it is difficult to see in this photo, Tara was in awe
over how high the shower heads are in the locker rooms (this is the
visitors shower). If the tiles on the wall are 12 inches square,
then they are about 8 1/2 feet off of the ground!
|
|
Another look inside the visitors locker room as Carlos, Jay, and
Sam explore (notice the doorway that Sam is about to enter -
practically twice her height!).
|
|
The kids following the tour guide down the visitors tunnel to
the basketball court.
|
|
Carlos taking a photo of the arena as Jay, Tyler, Sam, and Drew
make their way towards the court.
|
|
This section of the arena seating lifts up to allow large
vehicles (such as monster trucks or semis) onto the arena floor.
|
|
Jayden and Sam making their way onto the court. Each piece of
the court is numbered (such as this piece, M-1). There is over 200
pieces that make the fully assembled court, and it can be put
together in about an hours time.
|
|
Drew, Jay, Sam, Tyler, and Carlos standing on the edge of the
court.
|
|
A look up at the scoreboard, as well as the championship banners
hanging in the rafters.
|
|
Carlos, Drew, Sam, Jay, and Tyler making their way to the center
court logo.
