The firm began approaching the sports and entertainment industry after ROSSETTI was contracted in 1984 to design The Palace of Auburn Hills. The project, which broke ground in 1986, and opened in 1988, marked the firms first major success in sports entertainment.

Projects
Daytona International Speedway - Daytona Rising- ROSSETTI’s innovative design transformed Daytona International Speedway into the first motorsports stadium. The corporate value proposition is a new model for corporate sponsorship and immersive brand activation.
- ROSSETTI designed and engineered a new hospitality suite product for the Palace of Auburn Hills. Prior to this, "Sky Box" suites were commonly located along the upper concourse of arenas. Placed within the lower seating bowls, the hospitality suites at the Palace were the first of their kind.
- ROSSETTI has provided ROD analyses for two dozen clients evaluating the fan and VIP experience, hospitality segmentation, sponsor activation and more. For new venues, ROD programs spaces for revenue generation. For existing venues, new premium products secure necessary renovations while providing a return on investment within 2–5 years.
- ROSSETTI R&D developed and launched Sightline Designer in 2012, which is a parametric plug-in for Grasshopper which allows designers the ability to interactively design 3D seating bowls. Clients and designers experience, in real-time, the effects of design decisions on spectator viewing quality, the shape of the seating bowl and heights of concourses.
