Little Caesars Arena opens as the new home of the Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Pistons this fall. In addition to knowing which two teams will call the new venue home, we now know what fans will be snacking on while attending events.
The sports venue food service giant Delaware North Sportservice has been given the food, beverage, and retail sales contract for Detroit's brand new world-class venue. The company now services a total of three Detroit professional sports teams, having already supplied concessions for the Detroit Tigers for over 80 years now.
