Detroit — All 52 corporate suites and the vast majority of 22 mini-suites have been sold at the new Detroit Red Wings arena set to open in 2017.
Tom Wilson, president and chief executive officer of Olympia Entertainment, made the announcement Thursday at The AdCraft Club of Detroit meeting at Joe Louis Arena.
The corporate suites (which can seat up to 40 people) lease at about $300,000 per year — at a length of seven to 10 years — while the mini suites, which house up to eight people, lease for about $100,000.
The sightlines at the 20,000 seat, yet unnamed arena, scheduled to open for the beginning of the 2017 season, are expected to be the best in North America.
