Opening Night at Little Caesars Arena

Opening Night at Little Caesars Arena on October 5, 2017.

[@BobbyT.]

I like how there are some throw backs to the Joe. The locker rooms, the outside still has little parts that look to be inspired by Joe Louis arena. It will never be the same, but it's still a very cool building.

[@MichaelBaranyk]

That arena is incredible!!

0:17 real tears :(

[@MrSangreyluto]

Wow! Look incredible. Congrats Wings. :)

[@jeffking3721]

looks nice hope I see a game their someday.

[@danglesnipecelly13]

Been here 3 times already! It's a fantastic arena. I love it! I'll miss the joe but the wings were due for a new arena.

[@cameronclark3927]

Yes they were it’s better for Detroit too

[@xblackcatx1312]

danglesnipecelly13 colosseum in Rome is still standing...Fucking sports teams hardly need new arenas every 20 yrs.

[@careyconley4690]

@@xblackcatx1312 literally the DUMBEST comment in here. The Wings had the OLDEST arena in the NHL, and The Joe was a DUMP. Not sure what the Roman Coliseum has to do with NHL hockey in the 21st Century. NOBODY is building new arenas "every 20 years."

I still don't understand why they didn't bring the goal horn from The Joe and insist on playing a recording of it. LETS GET A REAL HORN!!

[@itsurboidonnie]

it will forever amaze me how is red wings fan still complain about the horn 4 years later. and yes, we will keep complaining. LGRW🐙

The arena is amazing!!

LCA is a true jewel in the crown of Hockey! If you haven't gone there yet, it's a "must see" on your Red Wings bucket list. I just wish I lived closer so I could go again. LGRWS 💞🏒

[@charliestuckey-outtamymind4279]

I'm proud to see Deetroit City coming back! Sports capital U.S.A.

[@jackboes4744]

The goal horn is bad though. It is electronic, just speakers. Like come on, it only takes 4 hours to set up a working horn.

[@vickiem.6096]

Jack Boes I know, right?! They did actually bring the horn over from the "Joe" but the aucustics are so different because the LCA is so much larger. It's absolutely Pathetic!!

[@jackboes4744]

They would be better off getting the goal horn from the Griffins or Stars

[@vickiem.6096]

Jack Boes True, just not the Stars 😀

[@terrencesmith5431]

Means nothing till they get back to the playoffs for a long run!!!!!

Sad that all the Wings banners aren’t hung up. It would add inspiration and intimidation.

Really? Lol

[@SuperSportSS]

I can't see the scoreboard from the upper bowl and this is supposed to be the best arena in the country? Missing JLA and its lower and upper bowl 10 feet apart...

[@careyconley4690]

The gondolas, which they TOLD you would block your view of the rafters do NOT make this a bad arena.

Somebody: no Me: WOULD YOU STOP SAYING NO!!!!!! Somebody: Alright, I will open it back up Me: Finally Steve Yzerman: Wow, I thought it will not open again but it's back. Also, have my jersey number as your number and become a hockey player. Me: Wow, now I am a hockey player and I am going to my first career game Sorry about that last part but I hope they will go back to Joe Louis Arena

[@coyote5.02]

Should had never got rid of the red seats

[@twisted1253]

IN MY OPINION they should have kept the joe Luis arena

[@careyconley4690]

IN ANY SENSIBLE OPINION, they are right where they need to be.

[@davidkruse4030]

That is stupid. The Joe was a dump. Come on man. Sorry to say the Joe was a nice little arena that had a simple charm to it. But it was time for it to go.

Another fancy toilet!!!! All the great hockey venues are gone and The Joe will soon follow.

[@joer8854]

Actually Maple Leaf Gardens still exists and has a rink but it can never be used as a venue again thanks to MSLE. So it's still there and it's a National heritage site so the building is protected by federal law.

[@xblackcatx1312]

bigbadredsox JLA was shit.

[@davidkruse4030]

bro stop it. The Joe was a dump. You would have to miss half the period if you wanted a beer or to take a piss. You pissed in a trough. I will miss how close everything was and how easy it was to get to the arena. But the Joe was a dump. It is all nostalgia. The Olympia was a classic arena.

[@chrisfabian2894]

This building has horrible acoustics, ridiculously cramped seating, overpriced parking, and the slowest system for letting people in! They also do not accommodate for smokers. LCA was a HUGE WASTE of money!

[@careyconley4690]

Smokers need to suck on their cancer sticks elsewhere. Don't like it? DON'T SMOKE.

[@antr7493]

I got to go to the Joe once when i was visiting a friend. Like it better than MSG and Prudential center. It felt like a neighbor rink. Red Wings should have moved out west for the fans. That is where all the fans come from anyway. Let the Pistons be on there own.

[@sabsters2020]

Peter R West?

[@davidkruse4030]

They did move west. West of downtown. What are you talking about out west? They arent leaving the city idiot. Most of the fans come from Oakland and wayne county you idiot.

[@antr7493]

@@davidkruse4030 Many angry issues. West of the city you idiot, out of that ghetto you live in fucktard. oh FYI fucktard, they are just North of where the Joe was. They are not west of it. You should have learned North, South, East and west in grade school. I would also love to see proof "most" fans come from Wayne and Oakland county you fucktard?

[@MrDMF567]

LCA is amazing. However it is missing that faint smell of urine that the Joe had. 😕 😂

[@jimmyjames2496]

I'm sorry, but that Little Caesars logo on the top of the arena is fucking disgusting. We get it... y'all helped pay for it. Whatever. It should have definitely been the Red wings logo on top. That would've looked much better for the arena and city.

[@Kevin-it4fh]

They're not the only tenants

[@careyconley4690]

Ridiculous statement. Founding Little Caesars Pizza is what allowed the Ilitch family to build the fortune that eventually allowed them to buy the Red WIngs and BUILD that arena. EVERY arena has a corporate name, but no other arena's name has such a direct link to its team.
