The Ilitch family should buy the Pistons, move the Red Wings to the Palace for one season, take down the Joe, build a new Arena, and move both the Wings and the Pistons there. I do appreciate what this family has done to Detroit and the surrounding Areas
They probably will buy the Pistons. But moving the Wings out to the Palace for a year won't work. Have you ever been out there? It's a disaster of epic proportions. Only one way in by car, no mass transit, no shuttles from the
two nearby bars. It's a horror show, and why I hate going to Pistons games.
There's got to be a better way to do this. Talking with my uncle at Christmas, he was thinking they'd build an entire new venue away from the Joe that would house the Wings and Pistons. The Joe would be bought by Cobo Hall and the new arena would be somewhere near the Fox Theatre. That sounds OK, but I love the Joe's location.
I guess in the long run, whatever brings out the best outcome for the ambiance of the downtown area is OK with me.
yes casinos need to go, and they need to tear down all those decrepit buildings downtown, turn em to parks or something
The idiots in city council don't like that proposition, considering you'd destroy a city "landmark." But at the same time they say nay against restoring. Brilliant city planners in Detroit.
