![Abandoned NBA Arena Where Lebron Made His Debut [Part 3]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ptQgTG6Wno4/mqdefault.jpg)
Have a great weekend guys!! We hope you have lots of fun Christmas stuff to do and aren’t caught up shopping or WORKING 🤢 enjoy the new vid👊🏻✌🏻🐾
Ring once I barely have any jobs and I got all my shopping done so I get in joy RnK all day! 🌞
Great video Robb. Thank you for sharing and the happiest of happy Christmases to you and Kristy.
Great Camera and editing work Rob. I hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas!
Same with you two. Enjoyed all of the 2019 videos. Looking forward to your 2020 videos.
RnK All Day Merry Christmas!!
This is so sad to me. Went to my first wings game in second grade, my dad has come home from work and surprised my mom, brother, and I with jerseys and tickets. That night just flashed before my eyes. Simpler times. All just memories now :/
The echo of the electric saws in the background gives it an ominous feel to it. One thing I’ll admit, even though it’s sad that it’s going, at least it isn’t being allowed to rot. They’re doing it right; sell off what you can and scrap the rest.
And the Red Wings have not been the same since.
It’s not the new rinks fault lol
Coincidence
The wings were horrible when they moved into the joe...and were for many many years. That's why when they do win the cup it's earned...and not given.
26 STRAIGHT PLAYOFFS
...has nothing to do with it... it was downhill before that... coaching and the maturity of the team are what does that. We’ll get it back...
Even as a Canucks fan, it's so weird getting used to the Wings not playing there. Legendary arena.
Being a Avs fan i hated this arena Avs never played good there
Im from detroit and will always like it
You should have seen the Olympia that saw glory from the 1930's till 80'.
Canucks fan here too!!!!
Undertaker beat Hulk Hogan in 1991 for his first title here.
I was there lol. Survivor series
@@PBRSUPERSTAR Do you remember what tickets cost at an epic ppv like that?
@@leakyjeep5.9 I do not because I was 13 years old and in 8th grade so my dad bought the tickets
As the greatest wwe announcer once called it jim louis arena what a great hockey player he was huh
And Steve Austin rode into Raw on a Zamboni there too
Lol that's not Toronto way over there, that's Windsor homie.
LOL I thought the same thing
Toronto is quite a ways way from detroit
You've got many kilometers before you hit Toronto
Got fam in Windsor just on other side of the ambassador is Detroit went to the Joe a couple times
Lol.....that's about 4 hours away.
During the 80's and into the 90's....I probably saw over 700 games at the "Joe" having had season tickets. Of course....I also remember my family having season tickets in the 70's for the Red Wings and going to games at the old Olympia Stadium. You might say....I'm on my third building now. LOL
That’s awesome!!
im a habs fan, not a detroit fan but reading about everyone’s memories in the comments is making me so sad and nostalgic :(
jean same here from an Islanders fan. 😭
Is it weird to anyone else that the little Caesar’s sign was fully lit up??
Tyler Schulz where
@@masterfrozen417 somewhere near the beginning
La cosa nostra....
Pizza Pizza
@@masterfrozen417 3:36
I may not be a Red Wings fan but I know The Joe had a lot of amazing hockey history in there. Multiple Stanley Cups and everything. We will miss you.
You have no idea how much some of us really appreciate this video, bless your kind hockey soul🤙🏻
Nothing like the feel of an old school arena. The new ones have better amenities but the old ones have a certain character. Thanks for posting another great vid!! Merry Christmas!!!
John Popo check out Nassau coliseum where the islanders play. The barn love that place
I don’t know if you are a baseball fan, but it feels the same way. John Popo
@@connorniemiec8785 I am and agree. I love Wrigley Field --awesome vibe there.
I’m a red sox fan and Fenway has a great feel and i go there at least 5 times a year and it’s the same feel every time.
Mike Babcock - Maple Leafs Head Coach...
Hehe
u know he used to coach redwings right
@@gavingingras2434 everyone knows that he was Red Wings Coach. I think what he meant is that at the time video was posted Babcock wasn't TML coach anymore hence the irony....
Michal Rylski it was 2 days ago he posted it.
former Leafs coach
Have been at The Joe countless times back in the day. Saw many great concerts there as well, like Judas Priest and RUSH!! Thanks for posting this.
TML fan here. As A kid I used to work at Maple Leaf Gardens selling popcorn and Coke and peanuts. This brought back some awesome memories of all the hidden corners the public never see. I loved The Joe. And the best of all the old arenas was Chicago stadium. I was there too.
I was there for five days as a kid when my Dad attended General Assembly for the Presbyterian Church of the USA back in gulp...1980. I wandered the corridors and ramps and checked out the closed concession stands and etc. I can’t imagine a 9 year old wandering around like that now. A good memory.
Should've worn suit pants, shirt, tie, fluorescent vest, hard hat and carried a clip board and you could've gone anywhere without having to sneak around.
Edit: Disregard that it seems one of the contractors or a stadium employee was cool enough to give you a tour!
I am so stoked! RnK All Day was in my town, at JLA!!! You did a fantastic job on this vid. Instant favorite. I've been at the Joe when it was rockin' and it was quite a thrill. Great job!!!
Too cool. My youth just flashed before my eyes.
That was bittersweet...tissue please.
Great video though, well done.
Go Wings.
I went to one of the final two games there... I've been to about 4 at the Joe and 2 at little Caesars arena. The Joe had a crazy electrifying vibe. Something about being in that building made every game seem 10x better even if the game itself was a dumpster fire. LCA is a great arena but will never replace the feeling of walking up the two story steps and staring at the Joe Louis arena sign. Too pass through those doors knowing what has been accomplished in that arena during its lifetime. For me it brought anxiety. A good type of anxiety. Brings a tear to my eye.
I worked for a guy who contracted for demos, we usually stripped theaters but occasionally did larger venues like this. I remember we were one of several companies that took out the seats rails and carpets in the old Kingdome. It was one of my first jobs as a young man and was awed by the place, they later went on to imploded the building. Yes this triggered that old memory, LOL. Cool place dude, it's always a shame to see these historic places that have so many good vibes associated with it get torn down but that's progress I guess. Glad you guys get there before it's totally gone. Hey Merry Christmas all! :)
LOL Probert fighting in slow motion like its NHL94... Remind me why this place was scrapped? Still looks like a fine building with great sight lines.
AstralKing uhhh cuz why not...? Idk they could’ve stayed another... 20 but the team sometimes needs new stuff to start a new era:)
Outdated, parking limited, building was falling apart.
Still a nice looking building, though there were lots of bottlenecks in those single-concourse arenas. Parking issues clear up quickly when you have an orderly exit that a single-concourse building just doesn’t offer. Plus the views from box level were kind of lousy. And did they maintain the roof at all??? That’s some next-level neglect.
They could NOT have stayed another 20, tf?? I worked there during its final year and walking around back stage during the ohl farewell to the joe, the whole lower bowl was cracking and falling apart literally. They metal stairs in place were so shotty. They desperately needed this move into LCA
When they're walking around the concourse areas take a look at the floor. Even where there aren't puddles there are stains on the flooring and concrete where other puddles have been. Place leaks like a sieve, and that really cuts the lifespan of a structure like that because the roofing and wall iron rots right along with the reinforcement in the concrete.
Rumor has it that the loudest the Joe ever got was when Stone Cold rode the zamboni into RAW in September 1998
Ik that. But let me send you a video that you told about Stone Cold.
Dang it Rob, there wasn't one phone that you could hang up in that entire arena? I miss that! 😂🤣😂 EPIC explore!!
Awe Freakin Some video dude!!! LOVE the back and forth of the real games and the aftermath of the arena. GREAT editing job. That guy was SOOO nice to give you guys the inside 'tour' of the place. Thanks for the share.....
It's awesome that you went there. Back when I used to still watch hockey I was a huge Steve Yzerman fan. Never got to see them play in Detroit so this was great for me. Thank you and happy holidays!
Great video. Lifetime fan of the Wings. Never missed a Colorado vs wings game at the joe. There will never be a rivalry quite like that.
People who didn't experience it at the time just don't fully get it. The hatred was real. It was awesome.
@@meganhigley8838 this is true! Let's go Wings! We are finally playing decent hockey again
Used to work the stands at the joe, seeing this made me unbelievably sad. I still have pictures of my mini mite team playing on this ice as part of the little sleazers tournaments they used to do... good times
Hopefully they can ship the goal horn to Little Caesar’s :)
So cool you could document this. Thanks RnK all day!
Its always awesome to hear demo saws in the morning, glad you were able to get in bro, good look at somethin ive only got to drive past before it falls in on itself. Stay safe n till next time, PEACE!
Awesome new vid Rob! Loving the abandoned arenas! The arena definitely saw it’s fair share of memories! Have a good one!
Steve Yzerman " The Captain " raised the 🏆 there !
Awesome Explore Robb! Really interesting how you shared old team clips thru-out! And How Awesome you got a tour from a complete stranger, shout out to that guy! Great Crew, Glad to see U & Josh hook back up for this one... NICEEeeeee! Merry Christmas to you and your family! Thank you!!!! 📷 🏆
This arena is iconic
I was a huge Avalanche fan and worked on the Pepsi Center. I used to go to watch them and the Nuggets at the. Olds Arena, in fact was living in Denver when we won the Cup. We don’t get much Hockey where I live now. Out in the dark timber and mountains.
I'm getting the impression that the guys filming this are trespassing.
👍good job.
at 4:57 you can see the guy wearing a full face mask, so yea, I agree with you.
The sunglasses inside make him cool!
5:33 I’m fuckin dead!!!!,
Ya think?
Hi Rob!Welcome to Detroit!The Joe holds allot of memories for me Red Wing games and concerts!! Good times!!Thanks for the vlog. Merry Christmas, Happy New year to you,Kristy and Kona!
8:15 i love that inside the owners box there is a full wall picture of Lemeiux getting beat down
An amazing place, wish I could've visited when it was open! Sick vid as always Rob! Merry Christmas to you and Kristy!
Thanks for the fabulous video! Merry Christmas to you and your family ❤️🎄
That looks like it was an awesome place to see a game. Wish I could've saw one in there
Have an awesome Christmas and safe New Years RnK! 🎄⛄️🍻🍾🎁
Thank you for all the fantastic vids this year, can't wait to see what 2020 brings! 😎💛👍
Hell ya, this girl with her 11 year old son can't wait either!!
I’m a Canadian girl and a huuuuuuge Red Wings fan!! Thank you for showcasing the memories and capturing the last moments of the arena. 💖💖✌️✌️
I got to see my first Red Wings games in that place before they left for the LCA, I will cherish those memories for a long time.
I have been a subscriber for a couple years its crazy seeing you do the Joe! Thats like 20 minutes away from my house thats awesome.
This is super interesting, thanks for the upload!
You did an amazing job! Thank you as a Wings fan it got me right in THE FEELS
very cool to see Bro, thanks for the tour, Merry Christmas Robb to you ,Kristy and your families
Very cool explore. Nice to see that they are 'recycling' seats, etc. Always bittersweet to see these places go. Excellent editing .... great to see the old clips! Love hockey 🌟
Such a classic video Rob. One of my favorite videos but wish we could have seen it before they started to demolish the Joe Lewis Arena. I am a big Ice Hockey fan. Glad that you Incorporated highlights of the hockey game at Joe Lewis Arena. I would like to see more videos of Arenas and prisons that are abandon Rob. Glad that you could team up with exploring with Josh for this video. Keep up the good work Rob. I would loved to seen a video of the original Boston Garden before they demolished it. For a suggestion for the next video West Virginia State penitentiary.
Salute to the Redwings and their fans from a NY Islander fan. You guys have a rich hockey tradition. We had an arena problem here on Long Island too. The Nassau Coliseum, affectionately known as “the barn” was closed for remodeling and the team moved to Brooklyn which in my opinion was a complete disconnect with the Long Island fans. Well now we are in the process of building a new hockey arena back on the Island where my Islanders belong. I grew up watching Steve Yzerman and Bob Probert. Sad to see this place go. I always loved the octopus thing in Detroit. Anyway good luck with the new arena.
Iam from the area and as I grew up I have been there for hockey games and other events it was great memories as I watched your video TY!
They need to bring the red wings goal horn over to little Ceasar arena cause that pre recorded horn is horrible .
It isnt loud enough they need a New one
Thanks for showing the awesome video. Merry Christmas RnK ❤️
Ugh that guy 🙄 pretty dope you got to almost walk on the rink.. it's weird to see an arena empty because everytime I got to lightning games or buc games.. it's always jammed packed
Hey friend! What a great video! I get so excited each time I see a new video from you. It’s always such great content. Thank you for doing such interesting and amazing videos for us. I hope you and the family have a great holiday season and hope to see u and sweet Kristy here in my neck of the woods of southeast Kentucky exploring sometime. I’ll make sure to have some awesome places for you to check out and make vids of and some beautiful places for Kristy to photograph 🤗
Awesome video Rob thanks for sharing
Great video !!! Thanks for this . From 1 red wings fan , to another !
Cool place, cool that they let you in.
Thanks for the tour.
Awesome video bro. Die hard red wings fan , I loved the tour.
Would have liked to but I’ve never been in that arena. A few years back I was at a Bruins vs Red wings game here at the TD Garden in Boston. I was standing in the Beer line talking to a wings fan that was in Boston for the weekend . Not only was he a cool guy to shoot the shit with but very knowledgeable about the best game in the world!!!
myboy051 go b’s
Original six teams all respect each other, except for Montreal of course
@@RiggidyDiggidyRaw lmao I'm from montreal but I respect the other 5 teams. I like hockey in general, In fact right now the two teams I enjoy watching the most is boston and washington. man those 2 teams are cool to watch ! anyway, If you don't wanna respect us I don't give a flying f**k though, that's your problem.
ChibiTheChibi
Yes your respect is on full display
ChibiTheChibi I’m sorry if Mr. Blond offended you by saying Montreal doesn’t have any respect the city is an absolute amazing city a great place to visit or live in but the team can be and have showed in recent past the they are most of the time a holes
I’ll never forget the hockey game I played inside the Joe, one of my fondest memories of playing hockey and one I wish I could go back to everyday.
Love your channel Merry Christmas to you, Kristie
Excellent work Great Vid, So interesting, Many Thanks for this one!
I was there the Night they Retired Sid Abel’s Jersey to the rafters !! The Production Line was in the House .. A memory I’ll never forget !
You must have filmed this last spring. Nothing left of the Joe except the roof and some support columns on both ends. The stands, suites and walls are long gone you can see right through the arena now. Another month or two and it will be a memory. Lots of great memories in that building! I love the vlog though great job!
Great video. Merry Christmas
What a super video. I don't know how you managed to remain unseen, but I guess being UrbEx specialists, you have to be good at it.
Also, I want to wish you and Kristie all the very best for Christmas and can't wait to see what you have coming up in 2020.
What a cool explore!
So much history in that building.
This video hits me hard growing up in Michigan the wings were my hockey team, was at Joe Louis arena 1 time. But it’s wonderful seeing you do an explore on a place local to me!
I miss Joe Louis Arena it was the best
The Joe brings back plenty of memories, I enjoyed every game I went to there.
Awesome! It’s always sad to see historic buildings get torn down. Love the sunset(rise?) at the end-beautiful.
Cool thanks for sharing this with us love the videos
Dude, you were right in my neck of the woods! I’m from Monroe. Wish I would have known. Great video! Hope you have a great and happy Christmas!!!
I grew up 45 minutes outside Detroit and was fortunate enough to go to many games. Most with my dad who got seats from work now and then and from friends I played hockey with. Countless memories.
My first nhl game ever... 7 years old. Playoffs vs Gretzky and the blues...
Another time we would sit at the top of the bottom level behind the benches. And a couple of times the usher behind the benches came and brought me to sit right behind the glass. I'll never forget the absurd overwhelming smell of beer as a child standing inches away from my heroes.... Watching their faces come off the ice from a shift.... Yzerman, Shanahan, McCarty, I mean you know the legends... Mike comrie looked like a midget tho. I will say that.
We won a little Ceasars league championship at the Joe and got to stay in the visitors locker room. (being a kid during the 90s 2000s was a dream Era for Detroit. I remember trying to recreate or re enact anything I'd ever seen on TV. (the locker room the bloodied avalanche had once resided...)
I even got to do the intermission shootout as a kid. Which sadly, I did not score lol, I shot it right into his pads. Always regretted not taking my time for the deke.
I was at Steve Yzermans jersey retirement ceremony...
I got to sit on the glass for a season opener when Mike Modano came to Detroit. That was also the game Corey perry fought Pavel dastyuk directly in front of me. The usher had to come ask me to calm down because I was banging the glass so much. Haha
The ridiculous commute to get to the Joe from cobo hall....
The trough urinals that scarred me as a young boy...
The memories could go on forever and I'm so grateful for all of them. I can't wait for the red wings to rebuild and finally get the respect that we have earned over the years.
It's amazing that I have lived through an Era... I now live in Florida and instead of playing hockey 5-6 days a week consuming my whole life, I play golf and music as a profession and just feel like a completely different person. It's weird.
This post I think is to just express and cherish those old memories and Its a bittersweet goodbye to the joe. If I ever get a chance to buy some memorabilia like a seat I think I will.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Michigan girl. So many games, events and concerts there, and I’m old as dirt! Thank you for this view.
Awesome job on this exploration
Nothing but great memories there! The last time I was at joe Louis was in November of 2016 for the final season. I miss this place so much!! 🥺 my dad has a few joe Louis arena seats
As a Red Wings fan that has never been to the Joe- this makes me a bit sad. Would love to do exploring here like this, very great video!
We went to concerts there how sad,great video I was just as excited...thanks now I live in Florida go bolts
Great video thank you 👍👍
I’m an oiler fan in Edmonton (don’t laugh) and I agree that the old buildings carry something special. The joe and northlands were both very special buildings and even though both cities have new beautiful buildings you ca feel the difference when you walk into the rink in Edmonton.
This is a sweet video. I’m an avalanche fan but it’s still cool to see the joe like this. There’s so much history in that building.
Bob Probert and Marty Mcsorley back in the days were the brawlers. Great video man!
McSorley was a chickenshit punk. Bobby and Joey took care of him.
I’m a lifelong Wings fan and this was awesome to watch. Totally jealous! I was sad to see The Joe go, but glad it wasn’t left to rot and decay...
"Ive been youtubing for a real long time, like 2 years now" - Lol.
Great video .i hope you have a very Merry Christmas .
Damn I’m old. I remember when they moved to the Joe from the old Olympia stadium. Lots of good times at the Joe.
It wasnt always for hockey only. I saw PRINCE in concert twice here, Disneys Ice Capades, NWA...the list goes on and on
Awesome video. Thank You so much!
So many good memories here. When I was a kid my dad got tickets to the games through work, us Steele on zug island. We would go to all the home games. And even the practices. I still have all the pucks I got too! So many good memories there.
Sweet, new video!!!!! Thank you!
What Cool Place to explore Robb . I am a huge Hockey Fan . I once found a door that was ajar at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto . Was able to Explore quite a bit before being discovered. Tks Bro . Merry Cristmas to you and K .
Fantastic video guys!!! Even if I'm a Vancouver Canucks fan lol. Much love from Vancouver BC Canada 💜💜
We have a Joe Louis (Jos Louis) in Quebec, Canada but it's a chocolate covered round/flat chocolate snack cake with a really sweet frosting in the middle. LOL Nothing better than stealth urbexing! Loved this video. You and Josh make a great team. Hope to see you guys collaborating more in the future. Merry Xmas and New Year to the both of you, and to all the RnK and Josh fans out there too! Let's wish it's a good year for us all.
And we pronounce it Joe Louie
I have so many memories of Joe Louis. As a Leafs fan I watched so many more playoff red wings games growing up. Even went to a couple Leafs vs Wings games and one where they played LA.........I remember after their first Cup win at the Joe the confetti poured down and “Oh What a night” by Frankie Valli blasted out of the speakers. Its too bad my family wasn’t Wings fans as I’d have many more fond hockey memories from childhood........... At least I have the Spitfires I guess.
RnK 😎 awesome video guys ,have a great Xmas 🌲☃️
I went to Pontiac in '97 or '98 when that was abandoned. The security guard was cool, said just take your pictures and leave. The turf was still on but some sections were removed. Crazy seeing it and thinking about all those Thanksgiving day football games. Stirred up some great memories but sad at the same time.
Ford Field wasnt built until 2002.
My high school won a state title in 2000 and played the championship game at the Pontiac Silverdome.
@@Cowtipper4957 You're right, it's been years since I thought about it. My pictures are date stamped, it was '98, so the Lions still had several years left at Pontiac. It wasn't abandoned at that point. But it was definitely on its way out to be used for misc events. It was cool to see Pontiac and think about all those great childhood memories of Thanksgiving day football. 🏈
