Detroit — Joe Louis Arena isn’t the prettiest place to watch a game. And the price of tickets has skyrocketed over the years.
But, oh, how Red Wings fans will miss it. The mournful farewell to the Joe began with its next-to-last game Saturday and will finish with a finale on Sunday.
“I’m kinda bummed,” said Ron Panczyk of Detroit. “Everything has to come to an end I guess.”
Panczyk, 65, was having dinner with a friend at the Anchor bar before Saturday’s game against the Montreal Canadians.
The Wings are moving to spanking-new Little Caesars Arena, which they will share with the Detroit Pistons.
