Fan Tips

Little Caesars Arena blends modern design with Detroit’s deep sports history, serving as home to both the Pistons and Red Wings in a revitalized downtown setting. The venue is part of a broader entertainment district that extends the experience beyond the game itself.

Located in The District Detroit, the arena is accessible by car, rideshare, and nearby transit options, with multiple parking structures in the surrounding area.

The seating bowl is designed to keep fans close to the action, and the atmosphere builds quickly during competitive matchups and rivalry games.

Concessions feature a mix of traditional stadium fare and Detroit-area favorites, reflecting the city’s food culture.

After the game, fans can explore nearby bars, restaurants, and entertainment venues within walking distance.

Security Screenings

Like almost all US and Canadian Stadiums, you will need to enter through a metal detector before entering the stadium.  Be sure to give yourself extra time and don't bring any weapons or devices that could be seen as a weapon inside.  Pat down searches may be required.

Bag Policy

All bags larger than 14"x14"x6" such as backpacks, suitcases, beach bags, etc. will be prohibited from entry into the arena.  All bags are subject to inspection before entry.

Note: Bag and security policies listed above are for typical sporting events. Special events, concerts, and other situations may result in variations. Please check the event website for any changes.
