The Pistons aren't drawing well and the arena does lack energy. It has for almost three seasons now, really.</p> Yeah, check the turnout for tonight’s game, with roads that are fine, against the best team in the NBA and the turnout looks to be pretty similar to what was described at the Charlotte game.

By that time, the roads had been cleared. I was talking with Natalie from Need4Sheed, and she said that was fairly typical turnout for a Wednesday game -- snowstorm or not.</p> JJ, I drove from Flint.

Not to say a lot of what Lisa talks about isn't true, but downplaying the importance of the storm destroys the credibility of the report. The storm shut side streets entirely down, major roads were dangerous if not totally un-navigable, and it simply wasn't safe to drive that night. Considering most Pistons fans have to drive 10-50 miles up to the Palace, that was a big deal. As is, with statements like 'anyone who’s lived in Michigan long enough could tell you that (the snowstorm) was nothing,' no one should take seriously the claim that this was a representative game.   That snowstorm was enormous and was responsible for those attendance numbers.

Apparently there was some screw up somewhere, but you can still use them. Regarding the TGI Friday’s coupon, they are actually still valid even though the printed date has passed.
