It will be my first time in Detroit! I hope the Detroit crowds are rockin'. Went to see a PJ show in NJ once, the crowd was fuckin' dead! Toronto crowds bring it, so I'm hoping Detroit can match. Don't want to see no rock cops!
Likewise my 1st time in DET, looking forward to the experience. Should be a great show.
Wow, looks like Detroit will be your 60th show. You've been to some great shows
Detroit will be #60 for me as well!

Curious, are cabs easy to get in Detroit, or easy to drive to the Joe? Hotel is a little further than we thought.
We are not a particularly cab heavy or friendly city, but it is possible. While the Joe is easy to get to, parking around it can be a nightmare. Most Detroiters have 'their spots' and use the People Mover (don't ask) or just walk over but this would be hard to explain without knowing the city. Uber and Lyft are around here and might be your best option.
People mover isn't too difficult IMHO. It only goes one direction, so as long as you know what stop to get off at, you're good. Joe Louis has a stop, so that makes it easy. They have a map on their website: thepeoplemover.com/WE-LL-TAKE-YOU-THERE!.id.2.htm And you can't beat the 75 cent fare. I would suggest parking at Greektown Casino, it's free and has a people mover stop right in it.
Thanks for the tip, that will save us some time/money figuring out where to park!

Just scored Red Wings tix for Wednesday. Had to scope the arena before the show</blockquote
Where the Wings play Wednesday? I was hoping the Wings vs Leafs on Friday was in Detroit, but they play in Toronto on Friday and Detroit Saturday? Would have made a gat weekend

Im sorry if this has been answered but does the Joe have a parking lot??
Yes, it has an adjacent parking garage. Not really a tailgating spot.

Thanks. Ok not looking to tailgate. I'm staying at a hotel nearby and would rather not walk back after the show so I'll drive the short distance to and from.
What's the street parking situation like around the venue? Are there certain streets in the immediate area that restrict parking during specific hours?

your car may get broken into. you will be in detroit after all, the poorest and most run down city in the united states. this will make for a good show!
Can anyone recommend safe parking options in the area aside from the arena lot?

Get the parkopedia app or check their website - terrific information about parking lots and garages near Joe Louis arena.

As I told pjsteelersfan, Greektown Casino is the way to go for parking, it's free and as secure as you're gonna get. It's an easy People Mover ride (75 cents each way) to the Joe.

Plenty of parking garages downtown if you don't want to park in the arena garages (Joe Louis or Cobo). If you plan on doing the pre-party at BW3 or hitting any of the bars downtown, Greektown is your best bet. Just hop on the People Mover to/from the arena. The Parkopedia website is great; you'll need to make sure wherever you park it's 24 hours since many of them close at 11pm or earlier. I think there's a garage on the corner of First and Congress (3 minute walk to the arena) that's 24 hours.

Do you know if the Cobo roof parking lot closes at 11 on event nights or do they extend the hours?
Been checking for a ticket drop..is this show finally sold out? Nothing on sale now, seems a bit early in the week for them to just take it down completely. Anyone? Bueller?
Do you know if the Cobo roof parking lot closes at 11 on event nights or do they extend the hours?
I'd imagine they'd stay open until the show ends... how long they'll stay open in anyone's guess (typical time is an hour after the show/game). I will tell you that getting out of the JLA parking garage after a Wings game is an absolute fucking disaster (especially if you get stuck on the upper levels). I avoid parking there like the plague. If you want to be in a garage for vehicle safety reasons, I'd go over to Greektown or park in the garage at the RenCen across from the Marriott. If you're staying in town that night, there's no reason to park at the JLA... park over at Greektown and hit up some of the bars/restaurants downtown after the show.
