Allison ReppMarch 12, 2013My favorite place to watch hockey... That I've been to so far anyway!! Go Wings!! (Also, the new upstairs bathrooms are the Joe's best kept secret! There is almost never a wait!)
Jake SmithMarch 4, 2013Use the free program's beer map to find the spots where your favorite beer is sold in the stadium. After the game, buy a Stanley Cup Championship banner and use it as a curtain in your home.
Kate H.November 15, 2014Suite level is a lot of fun. Make friends with someone up here for one of the best seats in the house.
Going to be replaced soon. It's a shame. They don't build it like this anymore. Single level bowl. Steep seating incline. Not a bad view from the cheap seats.
John NealAugust 23, 2012Had a great time at the wings Canes game. Flew in from Carolina. However the arena is a pos. But great atmosphere and great people.
- Melissa BurgessFebruary 3, 2015Great historic arena. Check out the statues inside the building! If you're heading to the game, try taking the Detroit People Mover.
ESPNMarch 27, 2012During the 1996 Western Conference Finals, two local Detroiters threw a 50-pound octopus onto the ice at this place. That’s right, five-zero. It was one giant cephalopod.
GM Renaissance CenterDecember 3, 2013Looking for a convenient place to park on game day? The Beaubien Garage at the GM Ren Cen is just a quick Detroit People Mover ride away from the Joe.
HISTORYApril 5, 2010Joe Louis Arena - also known as the "JLA" or "The Joe"-is the home of the Detroit Red Wings.The Red Wings have won three cups in the JLA and twice (in 1997 and 2002) they've clinched the championship.
Anthony SoaveFebruary 11, 2015Get here early if you need handicap access. The line for the elevator is loooong!!
Carlos ButlerNovember 18, 2016The luxury suites could use more luxury. Then again, this is the last season for the Red Wings at this stadium.
If we won the game stay a few minutes after the third period to listen to Journey - Don't stop believing. Make sure you sing with the crowd!
John WristonJanuary 30, 2012Park on Cobo roof. It has easy access to the People Mover and easy access for exits. Avoid the JLA garage at all costs!
Andris ZukovsDecember 9, 2010Stop by the Post Bar before and after the game! Congress & Cass. Every Wednesday night home game you can win an authentic Wings jersey! Become our friend at facebook.com/postbardetroit for details!- Jon MillerFebruary 26, 2015If you're here for a Wings game there is no bad seat in the house! (Unless the people around you suck)
They have bells beer on draft by section 207 now. $9 for a 20 oz draft.- Booey BubbleheadOctober 18, 2013When they play Don't Stop Believin', you must shout out real loud, "South Detroit." It's a rule and will give you street cred.
Bryan BatemanOctober 30, 2010Grab dinner in Greektown or at the Hard Rock Cafe and then hop on the People Mover - it will take you right to the stadium!
Marine CorpsJanuary 17, 2012Not only does he own the Detroit Red Wings (and Little Caesars Pizza), Michael Ilitch Sr. also served in the U.S. Marine Corps.
Mojo In The MorningApril 16, 2011If you're gonna throw an octopus on the ice, boil it first. It looks a lot cooler & doesn't smell. Plus, everyone around you will thank you for not getting slimed!
Katie BonnivierMarch 24, 2013Between periods use the upstairs bathroom near Tim Hortons... No lines and way cleaner!!
Gerrie MartinJanuary 9, 2014Don't count on any posting about doors opening for early entrance to events here; hundreds of people were left standing in 14 deg waiting for a 7:15pm posted opening with doors not opening 'til 7:45pm
Matt Lane 👾🔫November 24, 2011Students: bring your student ID to the box office on the day of the game for $15 student tickets!- Take a picture with Mr. Hockey!! Located near Section 103 (Gordie Howe entrance).
Thought they were a good team, how could they lose to the Rangers? Let's Go Rangers!!!!
Nina MishchenkoApril 2, 2013Good luck for all team and our best friend Pavel Datsyuk!!! We miss you!!! And wish great success!!!
Fanatic Fact: The Octopus toss started in 1952 when the Red Wings played at the Detroit Olympia by fan Pete Cusimano.
Mike WhitcombeAugust 7, 2014Only seen it from the outside, but looks like a good place to go see a hockey game.
