Matt 1,049 Report post Posted April 1, 2010 Looks like the Red Wings won't be getting a new arena after all: Olympia Entertainment has opted to temporarily move the team to the 12,191-seat Cobo Arena as the club begins renovating Joe Louis Arena during the last quarter of this year. The team will remain there until second half of the 2011-12 season when the renovations are completed. ClickOnDetroit.com IMO, this is horrible news -- I was really looking forward to a new facility behind the FOX or in Corktown... 1 Hockeytown Red Wings reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
