CenterIce 83 Report post Posted May 10, 2010 there called the DETROIT red wings not the auburn red wings That doesn't mean much. The Pistons play in Auburn Hills but are the Detroit Pistons. It happens every where. What about the teams named after states. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
F2B&G 15 Report post Posted May 10, 2010 Having not been to a playoff game at the Joe prior to game 4 I was all in favor of the Red Wings moving to new home, but after experiencing game 4 I really hope they renovate the Joe. The atmosphere at the Joe is amazing and I feel like one of these new cookie cutter excuses of an arena would destroy some of that atmosphere of the Joe that was amazing to be a part of. A brand new arena wouldn't necessarily have to have a "cookie cutter" look. The Wings have a ton of 'Original Six' tradition and a rich history that I'm certain would be reflected in the feel/decor of a new barn. When you consider everything that would have to be done to the Joe to bring it up to date and make it last another 30-40 years, not to mention likely having to figure out the logistics of moving the team to the Palace for a few seasons, I would presume that the costs of renovating JLA vs. building something new are going to be about the same, though I may be wrong.
