Palace360/ Upgrades 

Post#1 » by NMerch » Sun Sep 7, 2014 1:45 pm

The Palace is in the final stages of its overhaul with a brand new scoreboard system and more.

Official statement.

The final phase, expected to be done by early November, will feature the installation of a new center court high-definition “Palace360” scoreboard system, upper-level endzone boards with game statistics, LED ribbon boards encircling the lower-level and upper-level fascia, arena tunnel entrance digital displays, and audio system enhancements. Outside the facility, an all-new digital video system featuring 1080p HD screens will enhance the programming capabilities for The Palace marquee at the Lapeer Road entrance."

I pulled some screenshots from the app they have available to download, if you want to take a good look, thats the best way.

Looks pretty sweet. Though the Palace will be rendered largely obsolete once the new Ilitch Arena is built. The downtown arena will get all the midrange acts, with Ford Field getting the Stadium level shows.

This is accurate.

Just in terms relative to the Pistons, not many people are going to bother going to the Palace until the team stops looking like a crime against organized basketball.

I think it looks pretty sweet! But @Kilo is right about the Ilitch Arena.

Glad we can see our team suck even bigger now.
