Mike Illitch was on 97.1 The Ticket this morning talking about Ernie Harwell, Red Wings hockey, and Tigers baseball. He was asked where the Red Wings will play next season. He said they are working to extend the lease at The Joe, but that "these things take time." The follow up question asked if we can expect a new arena. He said that even though the market for that is bleak right now, that is their plan. He mentioned that is exactly why they brought in Tom Wilson.

You heard it right from the owners mouth...The Red Wings will stay in Detroit, and will have a new arena.
