What it's known for
When it opened in 2017, the arena brought the Red Wings over from Joe Louis Arena and moved the Pistons downtown from suburban Auburn Hills. A covered concourse lined with shops and restaurants wraps around the bowl.
Red Wings history is everywhere, including a statue of Gordie Howe. Detroit fans still keep the tradition of throwing an octopus on the ice during the playoffs.
Getting there
The arena is on Woodward Avenue, a few blocks from Comerica Park and Ford Field. The QLine streetcar runs along Woodward, and there’s garage parking nearby.
Tips for your visit
- Comerica Park and Ford Field are steps away for a multi-venue weekend.
- Explore the concourse shops and restaurants before the game.
- Downtown Detroit is very walkable around the arena district.
