2 New Residential High-Rises to Overlook Comerica Park

[SammyS]

The sceptic in me thinks Hockeytown is slated for demolition to:

1. direct fan traffic to LCA
2. provide more surface parking

Of course I don't believe this but item 1. will benefit if the proposed high-rise on this site is conveniently delayed after the wrecking has commenced.

This was already announced. It was mentioned that memoribilia would be relocated to a new venue nearby.

“In turn, plans are to move the Hockeytown Café at the northwest corner of Woodward and Montcalm north in a space near or inside the new $627.5-million arena. The Hockeytown Café, which includes City Theatre, would either be demolished or incorporated into a larger development along Woodward, between Montcalm and the I-75 service drive.“
