Agreed, I’ve been all over my senator and rep about this.
It would probably be cheaper to move both the Red Wings and Pistons into Ford Field anyway.

Hey, they got Joe’s Fist downtown. I’ve always enjoyed a good fight. The hockey is just “gravy on the biscuit”.
To: Libloather
We don’t need one. It’s a hockey game, all the history is at the Joe, I see no reason to leave it.

Build it outside city limits (but not as far away as the Siverdome was....).

The citys bankruptcy is not expected to interfere with the project...
I grew up in Michigan. I left in 1980. I've never regretted it: the more stupid mistakes people make there, the more stupid mistakes they repeat... and repeat... and repeat.

Perfect! Shovel-ready union jobs to the rescue! Obama can give yet another self-serving speech on his way to Communist America 2016.
No responsible investor would willingly buy bonds from that dead metropolis. This is as much a slap in the face to capitalism and free markets as it is precisely the wrong thing to do.
To: jeffc
Can’t they share The Palace of Auburn Hills with the Pistons?
I always thought it ironic that the sport that appeals to suburbanites played its games downtown, and vice versa.

Red Wings are downtown to attract Canadians.

We have a top class arena only used by a semi-Pro hockey team if the Red Wings want to move.
Call Buffalo, NY!

That’s the ticket, new $650 Million hockey arena for Detroit. That’ll fix the social and economic problems. That Million fifty thousand people that left will probably start moving back. I might even take a Janurary vacation in Detroit and go to hockey game or two.

Yup. Same with baseball. Windsor baseball fans are loyal to the Tigers over the Blue Jays. My brother in law lives in Livonia but he's loyal to the Packers over the Lions due to his upbringing in the western UP.

Actually when it comes down to it Detroit can’t be beat for availability of sporting events. There’s the Detroit Grand Prix, powerboat racing, air racing, sailboat racing.
