    Little Caesars Arena in Detroit was a really great experience. The arena itself is beautiful,…read moremodern, and very clean. As soon as you walk in you can feel the energy from the crowd, especially during a game or concert. The big screens, lighting, and overall setup make it easy to see what's going on no matter where you're sitting. It's definitely one of the nicest venues I've been to in Detroit. The food options were also pretty good for an arena. There were plenty of choices around the concourse--from pizza and burgers to other snacks and drinks--so you're not limited to just one stand. Of course, the prices are what you'd expect at a stadium, but the convenience and variety made it worth it. Everything we tried was fresh and hit the spot during the event. The staff and organization were also solid. The employees were friendly and helpful when we had questions, and the arena seemed very well managed. Even with a lot of people there, things moved smoothly and the place stayed clean. Overall it was a fun experience, and I'd definitely come back for another game or concert. Great atmosphere and a great Detroit venue.

    The food and drinks here are ridiculously expensive, but I had a great time at the Detroit Pistons…read morevs Dallas Mavericks basketball game while I was in Detroit for several weeks for work. I always make a point to catch a live sporting event in most of the cities I travel to for long work trips, and I enjoyed this one. Pro parking tip. About 100 feet from the door to the arena there is a little dead end street called Park Ave where you can park for free if you arrive early before the road blocks go up!! See my photo. Park early and then walk over to Harry's Detroit Bar & Grill for a cheap beer and burger (or other great food) before the game!!! You won't regret it. Awesome food and very friendly people.

    Very nice venue with great seats anywhere you choose!…read more Been here for a few concerts and a couple Lions game (one being in a suite which was an amazing experience in itself!). The stadium packs a lot of people and depending on the event, it can get really busy so get their early! Plenty of parking nearby, but my opinion is to choose somewhere else that isn't a Ford Field lot or garage. They're either full pretty early, especially for tailgaters at a game, or they're simply very expensive. Food and drink throughout the venue is very good. As you can expect, the prices are high but that's the nature of going to an arena/stadium. For a Lions game, they do some fun tents and other activities in the street in front of the arena that faces Comerica Park.

    Why 4 stars? Because there were some really unique and cool aspects to this stadium…read more --- --- --- I don't think there are more unique concourses in sports than Ford Field - at least not the stadiums I've been to. They do a really great job at making most of them not feel like you're just in another generic sports venue. The cobblestone streets are probably the leading factor, but there's just a lot going on here that says you're definitely in Ford Field and nowhere else. The negative about the concourses? They are far too small for the sellout crowds the Lions have. I love to walk the entire lower and upper concourse in a new stadium I'm visiting so that I can see everything. Here, this took me the better part of an hour just because I was essentially in rush hour traffic the whole time. Within the actual game itself, it's kind of a nice change of pace that there isn't an emcee screaming in your face about t-shirt tosses and other in-game entertainment during every whistle. That's a thing in live sports these days, but I actually liked the very throw back feel here. The fans knew to be pin-drop quiet durinng the Lions possessions and insanely loud when the defense was on the field. I appreciated that aspect too. Other than the concourses being way too narrow, this was a great place to watch a game.

    A quintessential Michigan summer experience: the lawn at Pine Knob Music Theatre (fka DTE Energy…read moreMusic Theatre). I had the chance to experience it first hand this past week, and it was better than expected: 1) parking was free! we didn't pay for the premier/VIP lot though (it was already sold out by the time I tried to get it!) 2) concessions were priced as expected, BUT i was surprised by the variety AND the food options. Also on the lawn, like a baseball game, you have folks walking around selling water, lemonade, etc. 3) the overall vibe was great - people were having fun (maybe too much fun ahah). Didn't realize there was a tailgate culture since it was: *3:30pm Parking Opens *6pm Doors *7:30pm Music! The opener started on time and played about an hour and the main act started on time. They had speakers going out into the lawn so I could hear JUST fine. I found it helpful to have my earplugs still hit 95dbs. I think being inside the pavilion sounded way to reverb-y so I really enjoyed the lawn. 4) We rented chairs and found it worth it at $15 each (with $5 deposit returned to you). We left a little early before the last couple of songs so it was pretty easy getting out! All in all, a great experience!

    Pine Knob is a classic concert venue that has made it through the test of time. Some things are the…read moresame as they were twenty years ago and some have been improved. 75 is a bear no matter what with year round construction. Give yourself time to get to the show early and you'll be just fine. Traffic control once you're off the highway and going in and out of the venue is very good these days. The parking lots are plentiful. The earlier you go, the better spot you get. It's all free except for VIP which I don't know why people pay that uncharge. Tailgating is alive and well here. Bring your gear and hang before the shows. The drink options inside are varied. You can find Michigan beers and local restaurants inside. The addition I'm most excited to try is the Fed (a local Clarkston restaurant that has built a satellite here). Like every live event, drinks are stupid expensive. Offset that slightly by bringing a 20 oz. sealed water bottle in with you. One per person. Chairs should be beach height only (no more than 12 inches off the ground). You can bring blankets as well or instead of for lawn seating. There are reserved/covered seats as well. Sound is great here. There are monitors in the lawn section so you can actually see something. Most concerts end by 11 due to the noise ordinance. No clear recycle bins until after you leave the show. Great for dropping cans off on your way in, but a complete miss on the way out when you have to throw plastic and metal in a garbage bin. Tip: go to the box office to save on the absurd ticket service fees. Check their hours before you go.
