Ilitches to make bid to purchase Pistons
Basketball Betting Lines
08/09/2010 -
Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mike and Marian Ilitch, who already own the
Tigers and Red Wings, announced their intention to make a formal bid to buy
the Detroit Pistons.
The Detroit Free Press revealed on Monday that the Ilitch family wants to
purchase the city's NBA franchise, which currently resides in the suburb of
Auburn Hills, in the hopes of securing a new downtown arena to house both the
Pistons and Red Wings.
According to the paper, the Ilitches will formally notify Pistons owner Karen
Davidson of their interest. This comes on the heels of previous reports and
Davidson's public admission that buyers are being courted for the
franchise -- leaving open the possibility that new ownership could move the
team out of Michigan.
The lease for the Red Wings' current home at Joe Louis Arena expired on June
30, while the Pistons haven't called Detroit home since leaving Cobo Arena for
the Pontiac Silverdome in 1978. The Tigers play downtown at the 10-year-old
Comerica Park, closer to the city core than the former Tiger Stadium.
The paper also reported that Detroit mayor Dave Bing, a former Pistons star in
the 1960s and '70s, has constantly expressed support for moving the Pistons
back to Detroit.
