First Game at The Joe

What a great opportunity I had last night. A friend invited my son Andrew and me to see the Red Wings game last night. It is my first Red Wing game at Joe Louis Arena! Yes, that is right...the last Red Wing game I went to in person was at the old Olympia Stadium! That was over 30 years ago!

It was great fun, and especially because the Red Wings beat the Montreal Canadians 2-0.

But having been to events at The Palace in Auburn Hills in comparison, I can see why many folks want to replace Joe Louis Arena with something better - more bathrooms, bigger seats, more luxury boxes, etc. And of course I have an added desire for this new stadium - it would probably be build up here behind the Fox Theatre or even better where the Old Motown building stood across the street. Either way it means parking income for St. John's! Wouldn't a handsome brick arena, sort of like the old Olympia, look nice in the neighborhood?
