Stadium Designer Shares His Ideas For New Red Wings Arena
The Red Wings and Phoenix Coyotes already were banging each other into the boards in Game 4 of their Western Conference semifinals while hundreds of fans still were stuck outside trying to get into Joe Louis Arena.
The lines were slow and the entrances jammed with eager fans who remained patient despite the annoyance of a slow-moving line. There are only two main entrances to The Joe, which makes it slow and cumbersome to get in and out, which is one of several things that angers fans like Brian Niemiac of Trenton. He watches most of the games in the upper bowl and he has a laundry list of ideas should the Wings build a new joint venture arena downtown with the Pistons.
"This place is terrible," he said. "It takes so long to do anything here."
