Lol "The doors were wide open, and we just walked right in, its weird," said Goldilocks to the three unamused bears. Part of history making, what an event.
I grew up a hour away in Clarkston I e been there once when I was a little kid my first game a got one of there practice pucks there and I still have it
This is amazing how well you treated one of our Gems here in Detroit. Im glad ya'll were met with open arms also. I was getting chills watching this. Another piece of my childhood is in the books. 1st Tiger Stadium, then The Silverdome, then The Palace of Auburn Hills, now The Joe. Thank ya'll for doin this.
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.
Think of it as making room to rebuild Detroit and make it the biggest city like it was in its prime. Detroit used to be the biggest car city in the world and the economy was booming. Now it thugs and gang bangers shooting up abandon houses
yup. the only ones remaining are wrigley field and fenway. i’m a yankees fan and i have so much respect for the red sox for not tearing fenway down unlike the yankees. everybody except george steinbrenner wanted to keep the old yankee stadium. what a joke.
Wow I did not think I would get emotional. I have so many memories at that arena, I grew up in the 90s during the highest point of the Red Wings career. I remember driving down Vernor highway with my family after the Wings swept Colorado for the Stanley Cup. The entire city was out celebrating. And then to end on that view, made me realize we do get some amazing skies out here. For all its faults, Detroit will always be my home, it's a part a who I am. Thank you for this video.
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.
It looked very dated. But it isn't just about bad politics or Detroit, arenas are demolished everywhere in the U.S. and the world, even some arenas that are newer... :/
I attended many games here, this was practically a second home for me during my childhood, I attended the last game and it was the coolest thing, thank you for doing this so I can remember it even in its dying light.
It's so sad that Detroit tore all the old stadiums down. Each building, the palace and joe louis arena had there own atmosphere. Both were great arenas.
Wow. I'm at a lost for words. I'm born and raised in Michigan and spent a lot of hard earned money to go and see the Red Wings play. #19, the best player of all time. I'm teared up right now. I witnessed in person the Stanley cup championship game won in 97 , after 40+ years. R.I.P. Mr. Ilitch.... thank you for your love of the city of Detroit, the fans and your players. I'm sorry Mr. Ilitch for not seeing your Tiger's win a championship,, , but we got close. Sad day to see this great place go fown.😞
this was shot a long time ago early 2019 the joe was demoed in october 2019 and that guy said in the video it would be demoed in 8-10 months do the math
@@PokeTheMostest I see some can not overcome their IQ set backs. It's ok little guy, your safe space will save you from those mean yet simple questions you have trouble answering so you have to resort to making fun of someone's name! 🤣😂
I remember spending my 16th birthday there, tickets to see them play was the only thing on my birthday list that year. Nothing will ever compare to hockey at the Joe.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU soooooo much for going to this location. I’ve been a lifelong Wings fan and seeing this one last time, before it’s demolition brought literal tears to my eyes. It definitely is a place filled with amazing memories and history 💕
If you think that’s a red sky, go to the western side (of MI) & watch a sunset on Lake Michigan. The sun/sky turns into a blazing pinkish-orangish fireball. Priceless pics.
This was my second home! I have season tickets and had spent so much time at The Joe! It was an amazing arena with so many memories. They last game play their was crazy and I’m so happy to been apart of it!
Tell me about it I grew up in Detroit I saw everybody there from Prince to NWA to third Bass New Edition to Prince( again). The last time I was there was for my interview and orientation for the new Arena down the street that place is gorgeous I love it.❤ I will miss the Joe.. great memories
I spent so many great moments throughout my childhood in the JOE ! From seeing WWF wrestling , the circus , Disney on ice , and obviously the RedWings .This hurt my heart to hear of it being torn down. Even though I now reside 1,000 miles away , I will always love you Detroit ❤️💯
I'm from NY and I was lucky enough to see a game here during their last season. Memorable experience, and it's sad to see that it's basically a ruin now. Awesome video, I wanna join your squad lol

This Josh guy seems about as bright as a 3 watt bulb.
as someone who’s been the The Joe since i was a kid, it’s sad to see it go but i absolutely LOVED this video..my sister and i actually bought some seats and got to drive our cars through JLA to receive them and that to me is something i’ll definitely never forget..great video!
As huge Red Wings fan from Calgary Alberta Canada. I have never been to to Joe. Thank you so much for this video. PLEASE NEVER REMOVE THIS VIDEO. It is vary special. Its on my favorites videos to watch and to end it with the sky Red. Wow. Thanks again.
I'm a new fan of yours and I'm constantly watching your videos. This one is one of my favorites. I've never been there myself but this is all my dad talks about. He loved everything about this place. It's a huge bummer I've never been there but this way I get to see what my father talks about. As soon as I see my dad, I'm going to show him this video! Its going to be bittersweet. GO WINGS ♥️🐙
I'm sure they either have or will replace it with something like the Bank of America Arena or maybe the Ford Motor Company Arena. Who doesn't love big corporations? And a sports legend like Joe Lewis will be permanently put in the recycling bin. God bless America.
That arena was like my second home, I basically grew up there. So many good memories, makes me sad knowing people will never get to experience the Joe. LCA is not the same. Thank you for showing this. It made me happy.
So cool! Thank you so much for checking Joe Louis, I live in the area, this is part of Detroit History that I would have not been able to see unless you shared the adventure! Thank you!
I saw my first Red Wings game here...so sad that the Mighty Joe is gone ...I love The Joe ....R.I.P. Joe Louis Arena.1979-2019.........and this is why I am proud to me From Michigan...best State I could have ever grew up in !!
Should of gone to Eloise. It's an abandoned insane asylum in Michigan. Or to the Waterford Mall is also abandoned. Both are super cool but tricky to get into.
Detroit must hold the record for having had the most number of arenas. First, there was Olympia Stadium, then Cobo Arena, then the Silverdome, followed by Joe Louis Arena, The Palace of Auburn Hills, and now Little Caesars Arena. During that same period, the Celtics played in the old Boston Garden and now TD Garden.
I’ve been to so many games there, the memories going up those stairs. And seeing the great big paintings as a little kid just awesome. So sad to see it go. I went to the second to last game and got my mini replica of the joe.
Thank you so much for this!!! The last truss has just come down. I attended the last game and I will really miss this place. This place was all about hockey, not about overpriced food or fancy things. It had character.
My father and I went to MANY games at Joe Louis. We were even in Detroit Edisons Suite once. SO many happy Memories. Thanks for sharing this with the world.
@@Nathan_Warnick I didn't see any security when I was there. it was during the day but perhaps they ramp up security at night. it's been awhile since I've been there.
Thank you so much for filming The Joe! As a hockey fan I’m surprised that the construction crews weren’t taking the seats for such a historic building from a historic franchise of The Original 6.
I could tell immediately that was Mike Ilitch’s owners suite, he had the huge windows to separate his from the open arena. This arena is where legacies were made, bittersweet to see it demolished.
So sad to see the Joe go... it had more character than perhaps any pro sports venue in North America. I know it had its issues, but when you watch some of these UE vids of the place, replacing it doesn’t seem justified.
I lived just outside of Detroit for over 20 years, and while I'd been to the Silverdome, Tiger Stadium, Comerica Park and the Palace, I never had a chance to go to Joe Louis Arena. Thanks for posting this.
What an awesome video Josh. Man, you always bring the epic content. I can't imagine how much the people, fans and anyone who ever walked in the Joe feel about this video. It must be SO epic for them to see this. Awesome, awesome video.
My husband and his crew are the people that sold all the seats out of there. They were down there for almost a yr unbolting seats and selling them. Me and my sons got to walk around and explore while my husband was working.
Thank you for doing this! Seeing you walk through a lot of the areas brought back memories growing up running the halls of the Joe as a kid. You call it exploring I call it documenting history.
Thanks a lot for this video as a red wings fan who grew up going to the Joe to watch hockey games this place holds a lot of memories for me and I miss this arena very much because of all the history there the brawl between the avalanche and the red wings in 97, the sweep of 97 and much much more so thank you for keeping the memory
Mr Fister my dad said it’s sad how much loss Detroit keeps having starting with the Silver dome, tiger stadium now the joe and it really truly is my very first ever hockey game was at the joe
@@AironNoriaLong It had seen its time, though it was a great arena, it had its ups and downs, with it not being central to the other arenas around the area i.e Ford field and comerica park, it wasn't in a good location. The wings moved to the Little Caesars arena, and the Joe was forgotten. I wish they couldve preserved it, but I feel with the amount of problems, it was better to get rid of it. They are demolishing the Palace of Auburn hills as well, where the pistons used to play, now that I dont understand, not even 20 years old.

Rinne it’s called travel hockey for a reason lol
I don’t feel you guys grasp the historical significance of this arena.
Nope deff didnt but I wanted to show everyone the idea of this place etc.
sure they did. they shared plenty of the history and excitement. what did you want them to do, sing and dance throughout the building
@Eric Belinc any hockey fan knows the significance of hockey town (Detroit) and the joe....
I feel it
It was a crappy arena in a crappy town
Remember when stadiums and arenas used to host teams for 80, 90, 100 years? Now they are disposable.
This arena was very outdated though.
what a waste... so much money for a short period of time !

I could tell immediately that was Mike Ilitch’s owners suite, he had the huge windows to separate his from the open arena. This arena is where legacies were made, bittersweet to see it demolished.
I watched a game in a Suite there I had a Bathroom they had Workers bringing us pizza it was awesome
I went there for a Linkin Park concert in 2008. Great memory! It sucks as you get older people and places become no more.
Dude your rite down the street from me!
Please come to St. Louis! It’s got so much history and plenty of historical abandoned!
So sad to see the Joe go... it had more character than perhaps any pro sports venue in North America. I know it had its issues, but when you watch some of these UE vids of the place, replacing it doesn’t seem justified.
I lived just outside of Detroit for over 20 years, and while I'd been to the Silverdome, Tiger Stadium, Comerica Park and the Palace, I never had a chance to go to Joe Louis Arena. Thanks for posting this.
BRO!!! Ruined it with the “St. LOUIS” arena tour at the end!! Otherwise as a diehard lifelong wings fan...hits hard
How much to buy one of the joe lewis arena seats? I'm interested
JayyCee4 !! I thought the same thing I went to one of the last games
That place is HUGE
What an awesome video Josh. Man, you always bring the epic content. I can't imagine how much the people, fans and anyone who ever walked in the Joe feel about this video. It must be SO epic for them to see this. Awesome, awesome video.
My husband and his crew are the people that sold all the seats out of there. They were down there for almost a yr unbolting seats and selling them. Me and my sons got to walk around and explore while my husband was working.
Thank you for doing this! Seeing you walk through a lot of the areas brought back memories growing up running the halls of the Joe as a kid. You call it exploring I call it documenting history.
Who lives in Michigan and misses Joe Louis arena and all the Stanley cups shares memories there like if u agree
Thanks a lot for this video as a red wings fan who grew up going to the Joe to watch hockey games this place holds a lot of memories for me and I miss this arena very much because of all the history there the brawl between the avalanche and the red wings in 97, the sweep of 97 and much much more so thank you for keeping the memory
Make way for progress. Very sad to see this torn down
It’s so sad to see this go because I grew up watching games here and know all of those places that are now abandoned
Still breaks my heart that the joe will no longer exist
same as Tiger Stadium!
Mr Fister my dad said it’s sad how much loss Detroit keeps having starting with the Silver dome, tiger stadium now the joe and it really truly is my very first ever hockey game was at the joe
12:26 and the final game puck went to then-Captain Henrik Zetterberg who played his 1000th NHL game at the last game at Joe Louis Arena.
From Flint Michigan and there were some amazing championships won in that arena!! From Hockey to the NBA and Boxing!! Amazing history in that place!
Never went but this breaks my heart.
Born in 91 this bundling was a huge part of my childhood! Great fucking memories! My dad has a few seats from there
The arena is no longer there, looks like there was never an arena there before
Like demolished?
.
@@AironNoriaLong Unfortunately yes its completely gone
@@Airbear237 why wouldn't they renovate such a huge arena?
@@AironNoriaLong It had seen its time, though it was a great arena, it had its ups and downs, with it not being central to the other arenas around the area i.e Ford field and comerica park, it wasn't in a good location. The wings moved to the Little Caesars arena, and the Joe was forgotten. I wish they couldve preserved it, but I feel with the amount of problems, it was better to get rid of it. They are demolishing the Palace of Auburn hills as well, where the pistons used to play, now that I dont understand, not even 20 years old.
A lot of partying and great memories. Great memory lane for a lot of people glad you got the chance to show everyone.
