It would be a mistake for so many reasons to have the arena in the 'burbs. For one thing (and this is only a part of it) a lot of the people who have serious disposable income work within walking distance of the Arena. Plus the synergy among the Arena, Dome and CBD makes a lot of sense.

Bottom line is that solid ownership and consistent success on the court will cure a lot of ills.

Auburn Hills works out pretty well for the Pistons in a dying city.

Yet they don't go to games with any consistency at all. Our attendance problems are not new. Those people have had ample time to fan up, but haven't.

As far as synergy with the Dome, I haven't seen much of it. People rarely even use the pedestrian bridge to get to Hornets games. They're just buildings near each other.
