The Detroit Red Wings may never want to surface.
Their locker room at Little Caesars Arena sizes up at 25,000 square feet, has a full-service kitchen staffed for breakfast, lunch and dinner, hydrotherapy pools and a video room with theatre-quality recliners.
Wednesday’s tour highlighted all the ways the new arena will seduce fans, players and entertainers with state-of-the-art everything, from a parking app to entry portals to the Via concourse to the facilities located below ground.
The Wings’ locker room at Joe Louis Arena was renovated through the years but it’s a pale throwaway when measured against the vibrancy of the new place.
