Congrats Prof!!! You'll have a great time.
Only advise is to get there kind of early to get a decent parking space. But then again, we usually try to get a parking spot far from an entrance, but close to one of the exits at the Palace. As was mentioned before, getting out of that lot is awful!! We usually leave early, but those were only the games that were blow outs. I don't think game 5 will be a Piston blow out, and had better not be a Heat blow out!!
Have a great time and don't forget to visit the Piston Locker Room <store>
They have some great Piston stuff there!!
