Tax motivated tactic. Probably couldn't get anyone else to pay enough so LC paid the RWs a lot of tax deductible money and the RW, which may be operating at a loss, avoids paying a lot of taxes.
SWAG obviously.
Looks like the LED roof is not happening.. to be replaced with a giant LC logo instead.
Arena! Arena!
No surprise. A number of us suggested it earlier this year...
Yuck, what a disappointment.
What is the nickname going to be? The Hot and Ready?
Ewwwwwwwwwwww
No surprise there.
But even if they put that logo on the roof, it doesn't mean they aren't doing the LED roof to display other images. It might just be predominately that image.
Yuck. I'm going to stick with "Red Wings Arena"
Ain't it coincidental that I once made a 3D mockup of the arena way back in 2012 and titled it with this exact name?

I am irate, and the social media reactions are quite bad. LC is an inferior fast food product like Taco Bell or McDs, and you do not see arenas named after such chains. This reflects poorly on Detroit and the franchise and I hope they change it.
They all but said the LED roof is gone. Tom Wilson said the sides of the building "made out of aluminum" will be able to "project images"
They kind of hinted this was coming when they said a couple months back that an LED roof might not work due to the weight of it. Oh well, would've been way cooler.
I think many of us don't like this name. Money drives the business and it doesn't surprise me at all. Still, I'll probably call it 'The LCA' or a variation of that.
What also is very disappointing is the giant Little Caesars man logo on the roof instead of LED lighting and changing colors and logos for different events.
We've gone from the "Joe' to the "Dough".....ijs
Where is everyone seeing the giant little caesars logo on the roof?
The big pizza pie in the sky.
LAME
Why not honor the city, state or local sports great? The evokes thoughts of the cheapest gimmick pizza out there.
I would've bet the name would have something to do with them though.
Underwhelmed. Yawn. 'Much like what I've thought of the Red Wings' on-ice performance the past five seasons.
