The Palace and Sports arena design
Rossetti pioneered several concepts common in sports arena design, including multiple-tiers of luxury suites, both near the sports activity, and at higher levels, increasing revenues for sports teams. Previously, private boxes were only located above the general seating. These concepts were pioneered at the The Palace of Auburn Hills in the suburbs of Detroit in 1988. The design of the Palace has become something of a standard for arena design, and most professional sports arenas existing in North America in 1988 have been replaced with new arenas similar to, or including the features of the Palace.
