Detroit Pistons Are Going All Out for Fans at Home Playoff Games

Detroit Basketball is BACK baby! I've been screaming it all season long, and as the first home Playoff games roll into Little Ceasers Arena this week, Detroit is going all out to celebrate our best season in a decade.

If you're debating on if you should make the trip to LCA on Thursday to see the Pistons take on the New York Knicks for game three of the playoffs, here are some of the things you can expect to experience.

To start, the first 10,000 fans through the doors will score thundersticks and a PixMob light-up bracelet that’s synced up to glow with the action during player intros, halftime, and key moments throughout the game.

If you haven't seen these before, Artists like Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen have used them in concert and they're SO COOL:

And if you like free gear (who doesn’t?), everyone in attendance for Game 3 will get a T-shirt, while Game 4 attendees will receive a rally towel instead. The Pistons are encouraging fans to be in their seats before tip-off, which hints at some surprise playoff elements during the pregame intros that you won’t want to miss.

Now, let’s talk food. The arena is stepping up its game with some pretty serious playoff-only menu items including the The Triple-Double, a monster triple-patty smashburger with bacon, cheese, and burger sauce available at 313 Grill. You'll find Truffle Poutine Fries loaded with black truffle gravy, cheese curds, and Parmesan, served at The Coop.

1701 Deli will have a Wagyu Beef Bao, a Lobster “Roll” Bao, and even a dim sum donut. Or if you’re craving noodles, Johnny Noodle King’s takeover near Portal 28 has you covered with Shoyu Mazemen, Fried Chicken Karaage, and a classic Pork Sando.

They'll also have some great drinks and collectables for you to grab as well. Fans can have a beer in collectible Pistons Playoff cups or go big with the Pistons Playoff Souvenir Punch Bowl. (Just make sure you bring a DD or call an Uber)

And for those looking to upgrade their gear, the team store is stocked with exclusive merch, including the 2025 playoff snapback hat, roster shirts, caricature tees, and the ultra-relevant “I was a Pistons fan before it was cool” shirt.
