Detroit Red Wings/Olympia Stadium closing 1979

This is a short history of the stadium that was shown on local television just before it closed in December 1979. The last event held was a exhibition game between the current Detroit Red Wings team and the Red Wings old timers in February of 1980. This video is strictly for entertainment.

Is there anyway you could post the video directly, instead of recording off a tv screen?

Yes when I get time I will do that
