"Ilitch, who already owns the Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Tigers, has opened negotiations to purchase the Pistons and Palace Sports & Entertainment from Karen Davidson, the Free Press has learned." ... "Ilitch has stated his interest in a new downtown arena to house the Red Wings, but the economic climate has made using public dollars for an arena a tough sell. With the Palace, Ilitch would have a place to move the Wings until a new arena is built."
