DETROIT -- The Detroit Pistons have reached an agreement in principle with the city of Detroit and Olympia Entertainment for the team to move from the suburbs to downtown, according to a person with knowledge of the negotiations.The person spoke on condition of anonymity Monday because there had been no formal announcement. Pistons owner Tom Gores is set to appear at a news conference Tuesday with Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and Christopher Ilitch, president and CEO of Ilitch Holdings.Gores acknowledged last month that the team was close to a deal to leave The Palace of Auburn Hills and start playing downtown next season. The Pistons have been in talks about playing at the new arena that is being built for the Detroit Red Wings, who are owned by Mike and Marian Ilitch. The arena site is about 30 miles from Auburn Hills.Olympia Entertainment, a division of Ilitch Holdings, handles business operations for the Red Wings, who are in their final season at Joe Louis Arena before moving to Little Caesars Arena.The new arena is in the same part of downtown where the Tigers and Lions host their games, and not far from where Gores and Dan Gilbert have been hoping to put a new stadium for a Major League Soccer team.The Pistons have played in Auburn Hills since 1988 and played at the Pontiac Silverdome for a decade prior to that. The team was downtown when it called Cobo Arena home from 1961-78.The Palace was built with private funds by William Davidson, who owned the Pistons before his death in 2009. The team won championships in its first two seasons in Auburn Hills and again in 2004. Although the atmosphere slipped in recent years as the team went through a rough stretch on the court, Detroit returned to the playoffs last season for the first time since 2009, and the Pistons appear headed in the right direction in Stan Van Gundys third season as their coach and team president.Gores bought the Pistons from Karen Davidson in 2011. He said last month that if the team did leave the Palace, it was important to remember the success the franchise had in that area.I think we have to be really mindful of this community in Auburn Hills and their loyalty in showing up, he said. This has been a real community, and I want them to feel the same wherever were playing.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtristerTom Rathman Jersey . -- Stanfords Kevin Danser knelt on one knee and hardly moved on the sideline as Michigan State celebrated its Rose Bowl victory and his Cardinal teammates made their way to the locker room. 49ers Jerseys Authentic China .

Halladay signed a one-day contract with the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday that allowed the veteran right-hander to retire as a member of team with which he broke into the majors and spent the bulk of his distinguished 16-year career.The group of owners who enjoyed the ride of a lifetime racing the undefeated Black Caviar will gather at Flemington to watch the champions first foal begin the next phase of the journey.Black Caviar won 25 times, including 15 Group Ones, and the group who raced her have retained her progeny with two-year-old filly Oscietra set to step out in public for the first time on Friday morning.She is scheduled to contest a jump-out at Flemington against four other juveniles and her owners are all expected to be on hand.I think were all going to be there on Friday, part-owner Neil Werrett told RSN927 on Wednesday.It would be pretty exciting to see her and be there when she comes out, and Luke (Nolen) will be riding her in the jump-out from what I gather so we look forward to it.Nolen rode Black Caviar to 22 of her 25 wins.If the filly comes through her first trial well on Friday, and another in the coming weeks, she could make her debut on New Years Day at Flemington in a race for two-year-old fillies.There is also an option a day earlier at Moonee Valley..dddddddddddd.Fridays hit-out will be an important next step in her education which began with a bit of secrecy because of her high profile until it was announced in September that David Hayes, who trains in partnership with Tom Dabernig and Ben Hayes, would be her trainer.Everyone has tried to treat her like any other horse but thats kind of very difficult, Werrett said.And when we sent her to the breaker and the pre-trainer, we kept it all pretty silent.We sent her under her name of Gertie and no-one realised who she was until we announced that a horse called Gertie was going to David Hayes. So everyone got very excited there and didnt realise who they had been breaking in and who they had been riding on the track.Weve just been doing a few things like that because otherwise everyone probably treats her a bit too nice.We just want to treat her like any other horse and make sure shes well educated which she has been.
