Taylor – Joe Louis Arena was a hockey home for the 1997 Red Wings, filled with glorious memories.
But the predominate opinion during their 20th anniversary reunion Tuesday was it’s time for a new home, which is what Little Caesars Arena will be beginning next season.
“It’s been a fantastic building,” former captain Steve Yzerman said. “It’s a great building to play in, if you watch as a fan, the atmosphere is fantastic.
“But I think it’s time. Everything I’ve seen of the new building, it’s going to be great for the organization and with everything going around the new building, it’s going to be fantastic for the city.
