Ugh as much as I know they need an updated building this makes my heart hurt...

I know when it's all said and done, I will certainly miss the joe

I plan to go to the last game they play there

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

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.

DO IT!

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.
