DETROIT [[AP) — Red Wings and Detroit officials are continuing to work on a deal that involves the future home of the hockey team.
Olympia Entertainment has until Tuesday to notify the city if it will continue leasing Joe Louis Arena before a 20-year option automatically kicks in.
The lease expires June 30, 2010.
Ilitch Holdings Inc. spokeswoman Karen Cullen would not comment Wednesday on a lease renewal or whether there are plans to build a new arena.
So, by next Tuesday we should know if Ilitch & Co. are going to stay or go and if the answer is go, where they are are going to go to. Bets are being laid now, the three top spots for a new Arena are:
  • Behind the the Fox
  • Across the Lodge from Motor City Casino in the old projects
  • North of 375 between Cass and Woodward
Any wagers?
