Yeah our organization will lose a lot of character when The Joe goes. The prices are reasonable, so a lot of us average fans can go, which helps the atmosphere. A new rink means higher prices and more of a corporate, quiet crowd.
Lets Go:
Red Wings
Tigers
Roughriders
Lions
Spartans
Pistons
Red Wings

Roughriders
Lions

Will the Pistons share the arena with us?

Doubt it. If illitch would have bought the pistons maybe. I guess I could be wrong but I hope not.

Also, if I was a Detroit citizen, I would be glad for my tax dollars going to something proven to be profitable and worthwhile for the city. Throwing good money after good, instead of good money after bad.

I'll miss the place. April games walking down the riverwalk on a nice day after a win-nothing like it.

This is huge. Don't get me wrong, I love the Joe, but I hate standing in a 20 minute mosh-pit trying to get out of there.
Connecting midtown and downtown would be wonderful.
GO WINGS.

I don't like the reduced capacity. Although, that would make it look fuller. 
Fixed it for ya.. haha

Doesn't matter if all the choice seats are still held by suits that only show up for 5 minutes, if at all, and then go home. Used to see a lot of that when I lived in the area. People would use the Joe as some kind of bar....show up for the 2nd period with some buddies, drink, and then leave before the 3rd even started. WTF

Just my 2 cents:
Part of the necessity for a new barn is the lack of high dollar corporate suites. The new arena will have mid-level boxes (think The Palace) that will pull those "visting suits" away from ice level. Also, with proper luxury boxes and club level the bulk of the increase in ticket prices will be absorbed by the big wigs.
As far as decreased capacity goes, that's also a function of the mid-level boxes. To keep capacity at 20k fans would be a long distance from the ice.

Again, I wouldn't mind a new arena but hope the seats are not miles away from the ice and they still let the fans be on the glass during warmups. In Chicago, they don't let you on the glass for warmups unless you have a ticket in the lower section.

I never really cared for The Joe ... not very accessible ... wheelchair seating sucks ... it needs to be like Nationwide Arena where I can see the entire ice surface from above, not one side or the other ... I would love Gordie Howe Arena, but today's world makes that pretty much impossible ...

I love the Joe but its time. When I go with my pops we have to leave before the game ends so we don't get caught in the mosh pit to get out. He doesnt walk well enough anymore to handle that.

I am confused by the news today. We already knew most, if not all, of this. They're really just stating that it was approved by the city officially. My question is, does this mean something is designed? When are we going to see renderings?

I am very grateful that I made the trek several times to the Joe. There is literally nothing else like it, what special place! But I can see the benefits of the new venue and jobs brought in, etc., too.
No stopping it, so I say embrace it, but never forget the magical place that was Joe Louis Arena.
