Meet Your 2010-11 Detroit Pistons This Weekend

The Detroit Pistons are holding an open practice at the Palace of Auburn Hills this Saturday, October 2, from 11 a-m until 12:30 p-m.

Parking and admission are free. Doors will open at 10:30 in the morning, with the Pistons taking to the court at 11:30. The Pistons dance team, Automotion, and mascot Hooper will perform.

Coca-cola will provide free soft drinks and hot dogs and is giving away tickets to preseason games. Locker room tours will be available at the conclusion of the event.

"Having the practice free to the public is a great way to kick off training camp and get the community excited about the upcoming season," says Pistons President of Basketball Operations Joe Dumars.

The Pistons begin exhibition play Tuesday, October 5, in Miami against LeBron James and the Heat.
