Little Caesars Arena

Detroit


Opened in 2017, this is Detroit’s spiffy arena for big-name concerts and sporting events. Detroit’s rough-and-tumble pro hockey team the Red Wings (www.nhl.com/redwings) and pro basketball team the Pistons (www.nba.com/pistons) both play here from October through April.
