Detroit Tigers Tour Little Caesars Arena

Detroit Tigers players, coaches and front office staff toured Little Caesars Arena today where they visited with construction crews and got a first-hand look at the progress on the new arena.

Little Caesars Arena will open in a little more than three months with sports, concerts and other events. It’s the home of the Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Pistons and the centerpiece of The District Detroit development.

With more than 1,000 construction workers on site daily, Little Caesars Arena is one of the largest and most exciting construction projects underway in Detroit.  The crew is making amazing progress and the arena is on track to open in September.

Crews are putting on finishing touches throughout the arena including the bowl, the Via concourse, practice facility, suites, seats and adjoining office buildings along Woodward Avenue and Henry Street.

This Michigan Made, Detroit Built development will ultimately account for a total economic impact of more than $2 billion and create more than 12,500 construction and construction-related jobs in addition to 1,100 permanent jobs.
