I come in peace I'll be coming up to Detroit for game 2 and was wondering if you could tell me when the Joe Louis parking garage would open for a 6:00 game. Also, I've been told that parking at the Greektown Casino's lot is free and is a good idea since the people mover connects it to the Joe - would you guys reccomend this? Finally, how soon before a game does the Joe open its doors to fans? Thanks for your help, and here's to a great, hard-fought series!

I realize I'm trolling here, but please don't make fun of Hitchcock's weight. If you knew how it all started you would realize its no laughing matter. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/hockey/nh...tars_hitchcock/

Thanks to everyone for all your help. I have decided on the following: I am not going to park at the JLA Garage because of price and trouble exiting. I am not going to park near Hockeytown Cafe or at the Greektown lot because I don't want to have to struggle getting on the people mover after the game. By looking at this map (http://www.cobocenter.com/parking_parking_map.php) I have decided to park at eaither the COBO HALL GARAGE or the COBO ROOF DECK. Which is better? Easier to get out? Cheaper? Tanks oen final time...

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.
