If you haven't had a chance to see the new look Pistons at work, maybe you'd like to witness them in the practice atmosphere first:

The Detroit Pistons will host an open practice inside The Palace of Auburn Hills on Saturday, October 10 from 12:30 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. Admission is free for all fans and doors will open at 11:30 a.m.

Pistons players will practice on the court beginning at 12:30 p.m. Coca-Cola has teamed with the Pistons and will provide refreshments and free preseason tickets. In addition, the event will feature a number of exciting opportunities for those in attendance. Pistons coaches will be on the microphone at the beginning of the practice to provide interaction with the fans while the 2009-10 Pistons Dance Team "Automotion" and Pistons mascot Hooper will perform along with the Pistons Flight Crew.

There will be Coca-Cola products to drink and lots of good times to experience.  It should be a great way to get excited for the season and is definitely a great lead-in to what should be a great game at the Palace on Sunday evening against the Atlanta Hawks.
