"Since our testing period began in December, we've had more than 25,000 Red Wings fans log on to the new Wi-Fi network and the response has been overwhelmingly positive," Tod Caflisch, director of information technology for the Red Wings, stated in a press release. "We look forward to seeing those numbers increase during the stretch of the season as fans become more aware of the technology available when they visit The Joe."
