THE PALACE OF AUBURN HILLS THE PALACE OF AUBURN HILLS

The Palace of Auburn Hills, home of the Detroit Pistons (NBA) and numerous concerts, family shows, sporting events, trade shows and special productions, still remains one of the world’s most innovative arenas after more than 24 years.

The Palace has undergone roughly $141.5 million in venue upgrades since its open-ing in 1988. In its first season under ownership of Tom Gores and Platinum Equity in

2011, The Palace was enhanced with fully updated and expanded backstage basketball and entertainment complexes, a new and enlarged media center, a permanent area for the Detroit Pistons Dance Team and a build-out of the broadcast studio. Additional components of the project included a remodeling of the West Atrium Lobby, a new lighting package on the main concourse and several upgrades in the arena including twin texting boards at each end, a new lighting system, a new player intro tunnel, and upgrades to the player banner sections and the rafter banners.

For 2012, a large-scale renovation project estimated at $13-15 million includes modifying and remodeling the main con-course level that serves all guests. Club West – located above the West Atrium Entrance – will be completely overhauled along with other public gathering places on the concourse. A building-wide suite remodeling effort will begin its initial phase with 40 suites slated for renovation along the 100-level suite concourse. Finally, 16 suites in the 300-level will be removed and replaced with the construction of a full-service open-air lounge available to give individual ticket buyers the opportunity to enjoy food and beverage in an open-air atmosphere with direct views of the action on the arena floor.

Among its most significant upgrades include the West Entrance Atrium, which was completed in 1996 and contains three levels of offices, a storage facility and an expanded entrance with numerous amenities. In 2004, a Light Emitting Diodes (LED) board was installed, allowing for the display of electronic signage around the entire arena and around the state-of-the-art hanging scoreboard during events.

The Palace’s largest enhancement project since its opening began in 2005. The $30 million expansion included the addition of two sets of exclusive courtside lounge and clubs. The Courtside Club, located under the arena’s east seating area, opened in November 2005. It services three attached 450 square-foot luxury suites as well as all front row season ticket holders.

The project also included a 65,000 square-foot expansion of the North Entrance, named the North Pavilion, which opened April 2006. The pavilion’s lower level is home to the other set of exclusive club/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 acces-sible via a private entrance in the North Pavilion and through a tunnel entrance leading to 100 level suite corridor and an exclusive entrance into 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 in The Palace with café areas featuring Buffalo Wild Wings, Hungry Howies, Tubby’s and the Red Bull Bar. The upper level of the pavilion is the luxurious Pistons VIP Club.

Conceptualized and built in 1987–88 by Arena Associates, consisting of Pistons managing partner William Davidson, along with David Hermelin and Robert Sosnick, The Palace was immediately recognized as an all-encompassing enter-tainment venue and it 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 addi-tions and improvements being privately financed, The Palace continues to uphold its reputation as one of the world’s premier sports and entertainment venues.

Overall, The Palace has been nominated “Arena of the Year” 10 times by Performance magazine and won the award seven times. It has also earned 10 “Arena of the Year” nominations from Pollstar magazine and won the honor in 1992. Since its inception, The Palace has hosted almost every major touring concert act.

COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMUNITY RELATIONS

INTRODUCING COME TOGETHERWith a collective vision to become the most motivating and impactful community relations platform in professional sports and entertainment in order to make a difference, inspire people and impact lives. Palace Sports and Entertainment, the Detroit Pistons and the renamed Come Together Foundation have combined all community relations efforts under the new brand of “Come Together”.

The mission of elevating Michigan and its citizens by promoting leadership through volunteerism and recognizing positive difference makers crosses all channels of programs, fundraising and giving. The introduction of the “Game Changers” program and the “Come Together Celebration” highlight the purpose of the overall brand.

Please visit Pistons.com/cometogether for more information on the Game Changers Program, the Come Together Foundation and all other Come Together programming.

GAME CHANGERS PROGRAMThe Detroit Pistons’ Come Together Game Changers program was launched for the 2011–12 season as an opportunity for the community to help the Detroit Pistons recognize and reward Michigan citizens for their community service and leadership through volunteerism.

Come Together Game-Changing Grant ChallengeThrough statewide partnerships with The LEAGUE Michigan and the Council Michigan Foundation, students across the state have the opportunity to showcase their “game-changing” community projects for the chance to win grant money to elevate their community initiatives.

Online Nomination ProgramThe Detroit Pistons also accept online nominations to recognize positive difference makers in the community who promote leadership through volunteerism.

Come Together Celebration – Impact AwardsBasketball and entertainment combined for one special night when Palace Sports & Entertainment and the Detroit Pistons hosted the first-ever Come Together Celebration featuring Grammy award-winning artist Sheryl Crow at DTE Energy Music Theatre in August.

Prior to the concert, the former Pistons-Palace Foundation was re-launched as the Come Together Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) charity supporting the overall Come Together vision. Matching this vision, the Come Together Foundation presented Darnell Hall from the Think Detroit PAL program in Detroit, Catrina Harvey from the Kids’ Food Basket (KFB) program in Grand Rapids and Natasha Thomas-Jackson from the Raise It Up! Youth Arts & Awareness program in Flint with the first-ever “Impact” awards for outstanding leadership and community contributions in the areas of youth leadership and athletics, volunteerism and youth leadership and entertainment. In addition to being recognized as a Come Together award winner, the foundation presented a $25,000 grant to each of the awardees respective programs in their honor.

Foundation Fundraising and GiftingIn the 2012–13 season, the Come Together Foundation launched Pistons 50/50 Payday. Using wireless technology throughout the arena at every home game, fans are able to purchase raffle tickets and contribute to the Foundation at the same time, with the chance to walk away with thousands of dollars.

Combined with other private and fan contributions, the Foundation will gift hundreds of thousands of dollars through both the Impact and Game Changers Grant programs, gifts to charities and to the charitable endeavors of the Pistons players.

COME TOGETHER FOUNDATION The renamed Come Together Foundation has been redirected to an effective tool to support the overall Come Together vision and mission by strategically collaborating with community organizations to raise awareness and provide financial support in the areas of volunteerism, youth leadership and NBA League sponsored programs.

BROADCASTERS BROADCASTERS

GEORGE BLAHAPLAY-BY-PLAY ANNOUNCER

A local broadcasting icon and one of the most recognizable personalities in Detroit and the NBA, George Blaha begins his 37th consecutive season as the television and radio play-by-play voice of the Detroit Pistons in 2012–13. The “Voice of the Pistons” is the longest tenured play-by-play announcer in the State of Michigan. Blaha brings a high-energy style to go with his extensive basketball knowledge and demonstrates a true passion for Pistons basketball. His trademark colloquialisms such as, “two and twenty-two to play”, “a high glass gun that goes” and “count that baby and a foul” have thrilled Pistons fans of all ages for over three decades.

Blaha, an inductee into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame in 2008, has been the recipient of many industry awards, including the Ty Tyson Award for broadcasting excellence by the Detroit Sports Broadcasters Association in 2002 and Michigan Sports Broadcaster of the Year from the National Sportscasters and Sports Writers Association in 2003 and 2007.

Blaha handles play-by-play duties on either television or radio for all 82 regular-season games plus pre and post-season games on FS Detroit and WXYT (97.1 FM/1270 AM) - the Pistons flagship stations. In addition to his Pistons responsibilities, Blaha has handled play-by-play duties for Michigan State Football since 1971. In 2002, he was made an honorary alumnus of Michigan State University and in 2008, named an honorary member of the Spartan S Letterman’s Club.

During the Pistons off-season, Blaha stays active as a Pistons ambassador making appearances at charitable and community events. His annual “High Hopes” golf outing for the Vista Maria home for abused young women in the metropolitan area, has raised nearly $1 million for the charity. He is also the honorary chairman of the annual golf outing for the St. Louis Center for the developmentally disabled. Blaha serves as spokesman and fundraiser for the Michigan Anti-Cruelty Society, benefiting neglected and abused animals in the City of Detroit. In addition, Blaha is actively involved with the Inkster Legends free youth basketball camp and the Detroit Roadrunners youth basketball club.

Born in Detroit, Blaha was raised in Marshalltown, Iowa and Grayling, Michigan. He graduated with a B.A. in economics from Notre Dame University and earned an MBA from the University of Michigan. George and his wife, Mary, reside in Troy and Gaylord with their dog Misty, a Vizsla.

GREG KELSERTELEVISION ANALYST

Greg Kelser joins George Blaha for his 16th season as television analyst on FS Detroit. Kelser has worked Pistons games on television and radio since 1988. He has established himself as a veteran NBA color commentator working the past 20 seasons for the Pistons’ cable partners. In addition to his analytical duties, Kelser also lends his expertise during segments of the pre-game show.

Kelser worked six seasons with PASS Sports prior to his FS Detroit engagement. He served as the Pistons color commentator for WWJ radio during home games from 1988-93 and has

also worked on collegiate television broadcasts in a variety of settings, including the NCAA tournament.

A former All-American and Academic All-American at Michigan State University, Kelser, along with Earvin “Magic” Johnson, captained the Spartans to the 1979 NCAA Championship. He was drafted by the Pistons in 1979 and played in Detroit until he was traded to the Seattle Supersonics for Vinnie Johnson.

An active member in his community, Kelser conducts several basketball camps during the summer and is involved in various charities throughout the state of Michigan.

MARK CHAMPIONRADIO PLAY-BY-PLAY

Mark Champion enters 19th season with the Detroit Pistons as the radio voice in 2012–13. He functions in this capacity when George Blaha is handling television duties for the Pistons. Champion first joined the Pistons organization in 1992 sharing the airwaves with Blaha until the end of the 1995–96 season. He rejoined the organization for the 2001–02 season in his new capacity.

A radio veteran who brings more than 40 years of sports broadcasting experience to the microphone, Champion served as the radio voice of the Detroit Lions, a post he held for 16 seasons. He has also served as the voice of Michigan State Men’s Basketball and has worked in three Winter Olympics Games.

In addition to his duties with the Pistons and Lions, Champion handled television play-by-play duties for the Detroit Fury of the Arena Football League (AFL). Most recognized among NFL announcing circles for his work with the Lions and earlier with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Champion serves as the voice for Disney asking the Super Bowl MVP “Where are you going next?”

A Muncie, Indiana native, Champion resides in Lake Orion.

RICK MAHORNRADIO ANALYST

Rick Mahorn begins his 11th season as a color analyst for the Pistons radio broadcast network. Mahorn brings his extensive NBA experience and joins George Blaha and Mark Champion to deliver insightful commentary during Pistons home games.

Following an 18-year NBA playing career, Mahorn served as head coach of the Rockford Lightning of the Continental Basketball Association (CBA) for the 1999–00 season. He led the Lightning to a 15-7 overall record and the American Conference title, which earned

them a No. 2 seed in the 2000 CBA Playoffs. Mahorn’s coaching excellence was recognized in two CBA Coach-of-the-Month Awards. He then joined the coaching staff of the Atlanta Hawks under Lon Kruger during the 2001–02 season.

In 2005, Mahorn joined the Detroit Shock coaching staff, helping take the team to a seventh straight playoff appearance and third WNBA Championship. In 2009, three games into the WNBA season, Mahorn took over the head coaching position after Bill Laimbeer resigned and led the Shock to the Eastern Conference Finals in its last season in Detroit before relocating to Tulsa, OK.

Mahorn was drafted by the Washington Bullets (now Wizards) in the second round of the 1980 NBA Draft. He came to Detroit prior to the 1985–86 season and helped the franchise win its first championship as a member of the original “Bad Boys” team in 1988–89. He also earned All-NBA second team defensive honors that season. He later had a second stint with the Pistons from 1996–98.

A Hartford, CT, native, Mahorn was a four-year letter winner at Hampton Institute (VA). He was a three-time NCAA Division II and NAIA All-American and owned 18 school records. He graduated with a degree in business administration in 1980.
