It wasn't a trick - just a treat for a handful of Pistons' Crew Members, who had the chance to chat for a few minutes with former Pistons center James "Buddha" Edwards on Friday. They conversed about the season-opening win and Saturday's game against Washington.
The Pistons’ regular-season opener is less than two weeks away, but several season-ticket holders made their own fun at The Palace, playing on the court, getting autographs from the Pistons and Automotion and much more at the annual Crew Party. Watch the Video
Like any grand-prize winner, Dr. Milan Sata was thrilled when he heard the news, which came not with a knock on the door but a phone call from the Detroit Pistons. The dentist from Grand Blanc won a trip aboard Roundball One to an upcoming road game.
He has been a Pistons season-ticket holder for almost a decade, but Mark Talley of Canton had never attended the annual Crew Party at The Palace of Auburn Hills until Thursday. He had two reasons to attend this year’s tip-off event - his daughters, Zoe, 9, and Nia, 6.
Prospective Crew Members were in attendance at the John Michael Montgomery concert August 10th at DTE Energy Music Theatre. Newest Piston Arron Afflalo stopped by to greet people.
The Detroit Pistons invited Crew Members to a Fan Forum on Thursday, July 12th to discuss The Palace parking situation, particularly as it related to game nights. Several members who had attended previous Forums and expressed parking concerns were invited for a complimentary lunch and discussion with Director of Parking Frank Weisse and some of his staff. The goal of the forum was to bring to light any and all issues that Crew members had and potentially rectify them before the 2007-08 Pistons season.
The Detroit Pistons invited Crew Members to another Fan Forum on August 1st to discuss the broadcasting and multimedia presentations at Pistons home games. Members who expressed concerns or had specific suggestions on how to improve the game atmosphere were invited to the round-table discussion. Members met with the Senior Vice President of Broadcasting and Multimedia Pete Skorich and Executive Director of Multimedia Operations Diane Ferranti.
Rodney Stuckey, the Pistons' first-round draft pick Thursday night, clearly isn't on first-name basis with his fans yet, but the 6-foot-4 guard still received a resounding cheer at the Crew Members' draft night party. While a lot of fans hadn't heard of Stuckey before this week, the most well informed of them at least knew it meant Joe Dumars got his man.
At The Palace, Crew Members stayed entertained with free food, a silent auction for Pistons memorabilia and more.
