Could this be an omen about Kid Rock's Senatorial ambitions?

Yea, it happened in Detroit, but people travel from far and wide for games like this.

Pistons fans cheered Eminem and booed Kid Rock at their season opener

On Wednesday the Detroit Pistons had their home opener in the newly-constructed Little Caesars Arena, which brought both the Pistons and Red Wings back to Detroit after years of playing at The Palace located in the suburbs of the city.

To kick off the festivities and welcome to the team to the court, the Pistons invited Detroit-legend and prominent Pistons fan Eminem to make a surprise appearance to hype the crowd up ahead of the game, with the backing track of "Lose Yourself" playing as he spoke.

"Detroit, welcome them back for the first time in over 40 years to our city, to my city, to your city! Make some noise for the Detroit Pistons. Let's go!"The introduction was met with cheers from the crowd.

Eminem was not the only musical act in the building that night, as fellow Michigan-native and longtime Pistons fan Kid Rock was also present to take in the first game of the season. Kid Rock, however, did not receive nearly as warm a reception, reportedly getting booed by fans when shown on the Jumbotron.
