VENUE
| LITTLE CAESARS ARENA - DETROIT, MI​

I will never get over this, f*** corporate arenas that corrode the soul of the teams. I'd rather watch a game at the crappy but historic Råsunda than the sleek but soulless "Friends Arena".

You never get Little Caesars paying money, to have their name there? but it would be OK to take tax dollars?

It helps the organization.

Something something tank something something LOSE4HUGH3S

Does anyone know if Jimmy Howard’s superpowers against the Rangers extend to games in Detroit, or is that solely an MSG-related phenomenon?

The illich family owns the red wings and made their money by starting little Caesars. It's literally the most obvious name to name a stadium.

True, but Little Caesars still pays for it.

 

[EpicDing]

It should be Little Caesar's Palace.

 

[Inferno]

Also it should be noted the illitch family did a ton of philanthropic work in the Detroit area especially when it took the serious downturn with the housing bubble bursting.

They aren't saints..but they are pretty decent ppl.

My wife's from the area...so I'm a little biased.

Not really.

Ilitches: Little Caesars Arena name a 'legacy' decision

Surely they could have made it work to stay at the Joe? There is a lot of history thrown out for materialistic comfort.

I have to say I haven't studied this particular case closely, but in the abstract I'm fine with tax dollars going to a local sports team if the tax base is OK with it (though I know that in practice this generally leads to corruption and bad outcomes), but preferably to restore and renovate current assets than overly expensive new ones like sports arenas usually are.

There are like 25 Swedbank Arena's in Sweden, way obliterate your identity. Would you root for the New York Papa John's playing at JPMorgan Chase Arena?

Ilitches: Little Caesars Arena name a 'legacy' decision

Under the naming rights deal, Little Caesars will pay about $6.25 million per year for 20 years to another Ilitch entity that will operate the arena. By taking money from one family pocket and putting it in another, the Ilitches have forgone the chance to sell the rights to an outside bidder for a considerable sum.

U should read the rest.

 

[LORDE]

Must lose game (to get things back on topic)

 

[eco's bones]

I say let's get north of .500 and keep the win streak going.

 

[Inferno]

The illitchs own little Caesars.

The illitchs own the naming rights company.

It's basically a paper transaction I guess? I'm sure there's a reason for it, but in essence it's taking money from themselves to pay themselves.

 

[duhmetreE]

Little Caesars pays. It doesn't matter that the family owns both.

It's not a paper transaction. 6M$ transfers each year.

Two completely different operations

Are you suggesting they are some form of easily recognized organized crime family?

games against the wings are always terrible and boring

This is true from public's perspective. From Illitch family perspective the naming right brought zero dollars (as compared if the naming rights were giving to an entity not associated with the family)

It's worked so far. Love it.

Especially if Howard is in goal.

 

[Good Intentions]

Did not realize Detroit has won 4 of 5, and scoring 3+ in each of their last 5.

Lets mark Nyquist, make sure Brendan Smith doesn't become the Wings' top counterman, and allow Henrik to put forth another heroic effort to get the W. 60 good minutes and see you Saturday night, Torts.
