NerveDamage 4,176 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 I have never been and plan on making my first, and last pilgrimage there sometime in the next year. Me too. My perfect plan would be to go to Detroit, watch a couple of Wings games, a Lions game, then head to Grand Rapids and watch the Griffins. But I have to attend at least 1 game at the Joe. 1 13dangledangle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 I've been to the Joe a bunch of times but I'll definitely be making one last visit before it closes down. I'd love to go to the last regular season game next season. I'd also love to go to the home opener in the new building in 2017... I doubt I'll be able to do both though, unfortunately...

GMRwings1983 8,789 Report post Posted April 4, 2016 I asked about this yesterday, but how much are tickets going to increase both at the JLA for the last season and the new stadium for the inaugural season? I imagine the increase will be steeper than usual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NerveDamage 4,176 Report post Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) I asked about this yesterday, but how much are tickets going to increase both at the JLA for the last season and the new stadium for the inaugural season? I imagine the increase will be steeper than usual. Yeah I saw it, Vladdy mentioned something about her tickets for the flyers at $200. I don't know, what's the price range at the Joe? You know they're gonna pump up the price. It would be cool to know since i'd like to make my pilgrimage to the Joe next season.

kliq 3,755 Report post Posted April 4, 2016 I've been on the fence about renewing my season ticket plan this year as the exchange is such a killer. Though, because I want to go to the last regular season game without paying $300/ticket I ended up renewing. I'm excited for the arena, but nervous as with the Joe I can get out and over the border in like 20min (not leaving early) and am not sure if this will be the case with the new arena.
