Whatever your opinion of Mike Illitch is , keep in mind that he's keeping the Red Wings in Detroit when it would have been very easy to move the team to the suburbs ,could have moved the Tigers to the suburbs as well . Either way the Red Wings need a new arena , not the current one thats stuffed into an area I compare to a sardine can . Ever take a shuttle bus from any local establishment and try and catch one back ? If you have you'll know what I mean . Be thankful Matty Maroun didn't buy up the property in question , he's going to lose a few parcels when they start building that new bridge in the same manner
