This isn’t your mom and dad’s concession stand any more! The Palace has long been ahead of the curve with the most innovative concepts in concession food service and our recent partnership with Levy Restaurants, arguably the leading company in premium sports and entertainment dining, has raised the bar even higher. This season’s concession menu at the Palace is the most exciting it has ever been. We’ve added several new exciting items but kept the crowd favorites. We are giving you even more of the things you love with additions like the Bottomless Popcorn Tub and Bottomless Soda.
The following are the top 10 reasons to skip the Goulash you were going to make before the game, and let Levy Concessions at the Palace indulge your culinary senses (I’m talking to you mom!)
10. The Philly Steak Sandwich
Detroit has the Coney Dog, the Ice Cream Soda and Faygo Pop. I suppose we can let Philly have their sandwich (and we’ll keep enjoying it!). You can find a Philly at the Critic’s Choice Grille at section 110 portable stands 118 & 125.
9. The Stir Fry Station
It’s not all dogs and popcorn! The Stir Fry stations at the Sizzle portable stands give the health conscious diner a delicious alternative. Look for the Sizzle stand at section 112.
8. Dippin’ Dots
Who knew “cryogenic encapsulation” could be so delicious? Dippin’ Dots can be found at the at several locations including the top of the east and west stairs.
7. Ham and Cheese on a Pretzel Roll
Plain bread or buttery pretzel roll? Hmmmm…..I know which I’d rather take my ham and cheese on! Grab one from the section 120 portable stand.
6. The Bacardi Bar*
Strawberry Daiquiri, Lime Margarita, Blue Paradise, Orange Dream…..all the flavors of the island without the long plane ride. Available by the yard (that’s 3 feet of frozen deliciousness!), you can enjoy a signature Bacardi Frozen drink while watching the game. The Bacardi Bar is also a must stop for the hot dog connoisseur. With six, count ‘em, SIX different hot dog styles all representing different cities, it’s a frank lover’s dream! Representing are Miami, New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Memphis and of course, DEEETROOOOIIT! Stop by the Comcast Pavilion to visit the Bacardi Bar.
*As of 12/20 the Bacardi Bar will become the Captain Morgan Bar. Stay tuned for the latest details on all the new features.
5. You can go bottomless!
We now offer bottomless tubs of popcorn and bottomless sodas in a souvenir cup! For $6 each you can refill your popcorn tub or soda cup as many times as you want. We promise not to say anything. Available at several stands throughout the arena.
4. Sanders
I’ll…mmmm…try to…yummy…describe the treats…..delicious!….. from the Sanders stand….mmmmmm….right after I finish my bumpy cake. Sanders is located at the top of the west stairs.
*Sanders began their business with a single retail shop in downtown Detroit. Fred Sanders is credited with the invention of the Ice Cream Soda in 1876.*
3. The Comcast Pavilion
With over 60,000 square feet and the ability to host over 10,000 guests in the food court, the Comcast Pavilion is literally the biggest addition we’ve made to the Palace of Auburn Hills. Opened in April of 2006, it’s the only area in the Palace for concession seating and it offers a variety of great eating. Big Boy, Buffalo Wild Wings and the Bacardi Bar all call the Comcast Pavilion home. Pistons.com says it best so read all about it right here.
2. Help out a good cause.
Most of the friendly faces you see behind the concession stands are volunteers. Local organizations have the opportunity to work for a percentage of their stands profits. So just remember, buying that 3rd hot dog may not benefit your stomach, but it does benefit a great cause!
For more information how your organization can volunteer, please call Danielle Matheney at 248.377.8291
1. The Victory Knot
Could there be any other item to top the list? The name alone suggests superiority! 3 lbs of pretzel and 3 unique dipping sauces make this pretzel unlike any you’ve ever had. Remember this is only the tip of the iceberg! Come join us before a game to experience for yourself!
There is no end to this concession special! Purchase a soda in a souvenir cup for $6.00 and get free refills the entire game!! Popcorn comes in 85 oz tubs for $5.50 or 130 oz for $7.00 and can be filled over and over and over and ….er…you get the point.

As the holiday’s approach, the beaten and bruised economy threatens to sap our holiday spirit like the famed Grinch Who Stole Christmas. And like the Grinch’s heart, funds appear to be two sizes too small in regards to holiday parties.
In response, people are getting creative and we are here to help. There is still time left for celebration and the Palace has economical options to choose from.
Be it a Piston’s Game, a reception or both – we want you to know it’s not too late to appreciate your employees, family or friends with an event at the Palace. The Palace Grille is an excellent place to gather for a delicious lunch with your coworkers before the New Year.

Piston’s Home Opener.
It’s a night traditionally filled with excitement. Radio stations set up shop at the Palace – some arriving as early as 3 am – and spend the day pumping fans up for the game. Employees, anxious to see their hard work come to fruition, are busy preparing for the 20,000 guests who will cheer on our beloved team. Fans will try to make it through the work days as their tickets wait patiently in their wallets, confident in their ability to provide a great night out. There is a palpable buzz in the air as all the possibilities of a new season dance through peoples’ heads. Could this coach to bring us all the way? Could the new free agent be the missing link to a championship team? Will our rookie be the next league superstar?
While this year is no exception, there is a little something more to cheer for at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Tonight’s 
Home Opener is dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness with all fundraising proceeds going to the Karmanos Cancer Institute. Employees will be wearing ribbons and T Shirts in support of the cause and our usual red and blue linens have been traded in for pink. Fans will have the opportunity to make donations and buy shirts.
The usual buzz and excitement of Opening Night will now include a bigger purpose. The possibilities that will race though people’s minds will have much greater implications. Could I help save a life? Will my money aid in research? Will we find a cure for breast cancer?
For more information on opening night and our focus on Breast Cancer Awareness please go to follow the below link.
