We are very excited about, we've got Nitro here, that's right,
the Motor City Crew is gearing up for the season and home opener here
with the president of business operations, Chyna Jude.
China and Nitro.
And Nitro.
We are so excited about our sixth season for the Motor City Crew.
So we're welcoming everyone back to Wayne State University Fieldhouse.
We are opening up on Friday, November the 13th.
The moment you're going to walk in the door,
you're going to see entertainment, you're
going to be engaged immediately.
Of course, we're going to take
on a Noblesville boom for our season opener.
And the fun part about it is we have some giveaways.
We're going to have fun to have a clear bag giveaway,
our fan starter kit.
That we're going to give and in that fan starter kit we're going
to have rally towels, we're going to have nitro posters,
we're going to have pom-poms, we're going to have so many things
in our fan starter kit so you can have your rally towels here.
Now nitro, will you sign that for me?
Definitely. It's the Motor City mentality.
It's about value and experiences.
We're going to continue to celebrate all of the...
Oh, wait a minute. Backpack. There you go.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. I pulled it aside.
I pulled it aside, but here it is.
So the first 500 fans will get a fan starter kit,
so it'll be some goodies in there
because we want everyone to be prepared for the season coming.
You know what, Chyna, the venue as well at Wayne State,
and again, for people that are saying Motor City Cruise,
that's the Pistons G League team.
We are the G League team, and our role is to develop players to get
them ready for the NBA team, and of course we have some great players.
We had Tolu Smith, we had Darius Jenkins,
who wound up signing standard contracts with the Pistons.
And ultimately a multi-year contract.
Yeah, definitely.
Exactly.
This is where these guys develop and play,
and you're right on top of them at the Wayne State Fieldhouse.
There's not a bad seat in the house.
Everything is great.
I definitely want to shout out John Bukamato,
who is our G League slam dunk champion.
Oh, my gosh, yes.
He's on that.
Bukamato.
And then, of course, Isaac, who is one of those players also.
They're playing back and forth.
Isaac Jones.
So, I mean, it's just going to be a great experience.
But there's some things that I love.
There are other things that I want to talk about.
I've got to hear about them, Chyna.
That's what I'm here for.
So we have our fan rewards program.
So if you pay for five games, so it's a five plus one, five games,
preselected games plus one additional game that you can attend,
very reasonably priced.
You have the opportunity to just experience the cruise throughout
the season within those five preselected games.
Okay, but...
Here it is, our mystery bag night.
So keep in mind, you get the bag,
you get our fan-started kit for the 13th of November,
and then we have mystery bag night, okay?
And that is Sunday, November the 15th.
Fans will get, and it's very limited,
so there are things in the mystery bag that no one knows about.
So, as soon as you get it, you want to pull some things out, Nigel?
Hold on, let me get...
These are some examples now, examples of what you can get.
Oh, baby!
So, whether it is Hooper...
Bobbleheads, nitro bobbleheads, you know,
it could be hats, it can be shorts, plushies.
I mean, every bag is different.
Now, Nitro, are you Hooper's brother or cousin or sister?
It's my sister.
Cousin, yes. Nitro is Hooper's cousin.
So this is the mystery bag. It's fun for all.
You just never know what you may get.
And this is going to be on November 15th for our mystery bag night.
It is so great to talk to you.
We're very excited for the Motor City Cruise.
Again, very affordable,
professional basketball right at the Wayne State Fieldhouse.
And you're going to get to see Nitro as well.
Let's go cruise!
Let's go cruise!
