Use 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.

Allison Repp

My 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!)

Kate H.

Suite level is a lot of fun. Make friends with someone up here for one of the best seats in the house.

Melissa Burgess

Great historic arena. Check out the statues inside the building! If you're heading to the game, try taking the Detroit People Mover .

HISTORY

Joe 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.

John Neal

Had a great time at the wings Canes game. Flew in from Carolina. However the arena is a pos. But great atmosphere and great people.

Mike

Great venue for concerts !!! park by the Opera House and take the People Mover !

Anthony C.

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!

ESPN

During 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 Center

Looking 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.

Carlos Butler

The luxury suites could use more luxury . Then again, this is the last season for the Red Wings at this stadium .

PJ Wascher

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 Mann

Old and historical NHL arena. Concessions DO NOT accept credit card. Concourse is always crowded with fans. If you need help deciding which Seats to purchase for your next Red Wings game , check out Read more

Tina Purdom

The suites are awesome!! Plus the banana split is totally worth the 6.50!!

Samir Nazir

get here while you can - also look in the program for the craft beer map

Booey Bubblehead

When they play Don't Stop Believin', you must shout out real loud , "South Detroit." It's a rule and will give you street cred.

Jon Miller

If you're here for a Wings game there is no bad seat in the house! (Unless the people around you suck)

Anthony Soave

Get here early if you need handicap access . The line for the elevator is loooong!!

Mojo In The Morning

If 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!

Gerrie Martin

Don'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

Andris Zukovs

Stop 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!

Helen Ruppel

Love my Wings and if you come to a game, do not forget the octopus

John Wriston

Park on Cobo roof. It has easy access to the People Mover and easy access for exits. Avoid the JLA garage at all costs!

Dan Cosgrove

Fun venue to catch a Wings game . Nostalgic. Wear your Wings jersey!

Janet Cummins

Perfect place for a concert .

Josh Curtiss

The music and atmosphere is great for sports .

Republican National Convention

The 32nd Republican presidential nominating convention was held July 14–17, 1980 at Joe Louis Arena. Former California Governor Ronald Reagan was nominated for president.

Bryan Pontiac

Classic hockey rink with a lot of history.

Cheri S

Get there early for goos parking in the garage .

Carianne Mayoros

Matt Lane ????????

Not only does he own the Detroit Red Wings (and Little Caesars Pizza ), Michael Ilitch Sr. also served in the U.S. Marine Corps.

Megan Fox

Every seat is a great seat! Going to miss this place!!

Anthony C.

Take a picture with Mr. Hockey !! Located near Section 103 (Gordie Howe entrance).

NHL

Fanatic Fact: The Octopus toss started in 1952 when the Red Wings played at the Detroit Olympia by fan Pete Cusimano.

Kurtis Marlowe

Good, loud fans. Fun environment.

Bryan Bateman

Grab dinner in Greektown or at the Hard Rock Cafe and then hop on the People Mover - it will take you right to the stadium !

Bobby Alcott

For people in from Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Denver -- count the Stanley Cup banners, then add all yours together and remember who owns your ass. :-)

Tall Dave

The views are very good.

courtney

Get the deep dish pizza ! It is way easier to eat at your seat!

Katie Bonnivier

Between periods use the upstairs bathroom near Tim Hortons... No lines and way cleaner!!

Booey Bubblehead

Coincidentally: This weekend also kicks off Detroit's Underground Sewer Racing fall circuit.

Nina Mishchenko
