When the Detroit Pistons announced their plans of moving to a new arena last year, their fans were excited with the prospect, as it will allow them to watch their team more often since Little Caesar’s Arena is located in downtown Detroit.

However, the development faced a big challenge back in June, as they received a lawsuit from some activists arguing that the public should not shoulder 38 percent of the venue’s construction cost.
