Palace Of Auburn Hills Bag Policy

So, you’re heading to the Palace of Auburn Hills for a concert or a Pistons game—fantastic! But before you get swept up in the excitement of cheering or singing along, let’s talk about the elephant in the room—or rather, the bag in your hand. The Palace bag policy is a lot like your favorite pair of jeans: slightly restrictive, but so worth it for the perfect fit.

First, the golden rule: no bags larger than 4” x 6” x 1.5”. Yes, that’s basically a glorified envelope. Think clutch, wristlet, or a clear plastic bag (they love those). If you show up with a backpack that could double as a suitcase, you’ll be playing a game of “will it fit in the bin?”—spoiler alert: it won’t. Pro tip: Leave the diaper bag and the camera bag at home, unless you want to pay a visit to the off-site locker kiosk. It’s like a bag hotel, but with no room service.

What can you bring? Your phone, cash, keys, and maybe a small lipstick. No glass, no illegal stuff (obviously), and absolutely no selfie sticks—they’re banned for being too aspirational. And for the love of all that is good, don’t try to sneak in a water bottle. Hydrate before you arrive, friends.

Here’s the silver lining: this policy keeps lines moving faster than a pre-game pizza delivery. You’ll be through security in minutes, leaving more time for a hot dog and a high-five. So, pack light, breathe deep, and get ready to live your best arena life. After all, the best thing you can carry into the Palace? A smile—and maybe a tiny bag of confidence. You’ve got this.
