    As weird as it may seem, I am and live in the Caribbean (Puerto Rico) & I became a fan of the Detroit Red Wings as a little kid, when I was like 9, the reason is because I used to see them a lot in the playoffs, so I stared to like & root for them and chose them as my team, and also because I had the N64 game Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey and I used to pick them with Fedorov and Kozlov. I still can't believe as a kid in the Caribbean I was so passionate about the NHL & DET. I used to tune in to ESPN or ESPN NEWS just to see the scores and results, and when Detroit lost, I'd be so sad for the day. I also watched the games whenever they were on tv. In playoff time I always got nervous. Didn't want to see DET lose or get eliminated. The good ol' days :')
    Sad to see the arena that was part of my childhood gone. The good days are gone. Now we are in a different conference and we don't even make the playoffs...
    The red sky looked amazing! Beautiful. Maybe a tribute from nature to the Red Wings arena that we all enjoyed so much.

      Joe Louis was not a modern arena. It was far behind many, many arenas. All the bathrooms were up a level so there were lines coming down stairs. The concourse was very narrow so lines from the concessions stretched across the whole walk way. So you had to walk through lines just to get around. I've been to the arena once (not a Wings fan) and honestly other than the history, which it was alright and neat, the arena sucked.
