Thanks for all of your help.
I am familiar with the area, as I've been to the Joe the past 2 years for the CCHA Final 4 and a couple of Blue Jacekts games - Detroit isn't as bad as some people make it seem...
I've always parked in the Joe Louis garage just because of the convenience and unfamiliarity with the area.
I think parking at the Greektown Casino is off - sounds like too much of a hassel to validate a ticket.
As for Hockeytown Cafe parking, are you referring to the Fox Theatre parking lot? That lot is $10?
I'd rather not have to try to jam into a shuttle after the game since I have a 3 - 3.5 hour drive ahead of me and would like to get out as soon as possible...
If I do park anywhere other than the Joe Louis garage, how jam-packed is the people mover following a game? Is it possible to get on it fairly quickly?
How is the parking on top of Cobo Hall accessed? What is the price?
Again, I appreciate your help.
