Do You Support a New Sports Arena in Downtown Detroit?
Leave a comment below to let us know what you think about a proposed development in downtown Detroit that could be the new home of the Detroit Red Wings.
Do you support a new sports arena in downtown Detroit? That’s what Patch wants to know this week after Mike Ilitch announced plans to develop a new district downtown that would include a “multi-purpose events center,” according to HuffPost Detroit. The new development could replace Joe Louis Arena as home to the Detroit Red Wings, the NHL team that Ilitch owns. Olympia Development said the events center alone could create 5,500 jobs and that the entire development would create approximately 8,500 jobs. What do you think? Do you want a new arena downtown? Would it help Detroit? Would it help–or hurt—other communities in southeastern Michigan? Let us know what you think by leaving a comment below.

Sure it sounds like fun. But it also sounds like giving the keys to a brand new Ferrari to a drunken 12 year old with a learning disability. Until Detroit and Wayne Co. are cleaned up I won't support paying for new letterhead, forget the stadium. Besides, last time I checked the Pistons are trying to fill half their seats and the NHL is throwing a temper-tantrum. No thanks. more ›
