$650M hockey arena plan moves forward
Calling it a 'starting point,' plans for a state-of-the-art $650 million Red Wings hockey arena and entertainment district were unveiled Wednesday before the city's development arm. The plan involving Olympia Development, which officials say would be supported by 56 percent in private money and 44 percent in public funding, features an 18,000-seat arena along Woodard Avenue just north of the Fox Theatre between Interstate 75 and Temple Street as part of the 650,000 square-foot project.
