dgthree Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I could not find a topic, but the first renderings of the new stadium are out. My opinion, the wrong direction. The "New Red Barn" plays off history, but brings nothing exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Supposed to resemble Olympia? A little too much red but I like the idea. All hockey arenas nowadays just look like generic buildings. Maybe this would change the way they're built, just like ballparks now are being designed like the old ones.

dgthree Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 It is supposed to be based off Olympia. I assume the design is still a "rough" rendering and that it may have more details and be a little different if they go forward with this design. IDK if they would actually go all brick like Olympia, but it would be cool (and it would make sense for the weird all red rendering). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 That's an unofficial photo which neither the Red Wings or HKS, the architect of record, released.http://detroit2020.com/2013/08/23/a-new-olympia-for-downtown/HKS did Lucas Oil Stadium, so if you want to see what HKS does with red brick and a pitched roof just look to Indy.

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Something like Lucas Oil would be nice. Would actually fit in nicely with the architecture in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

The_Admiral Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Something in between Yost and the Olympia would be the bitchingest hockey arena in the league. All those arenas from the late '90s boom look the same. Just soulless concrete/glass commerce exchanges. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "New Red Barn" plays off history, but brings nothing exciting.That looks suspiciously like a project some guy online did some number of years ago, called the New Olympia Arena project. He had a whole series of renderings for this if its from the same project.

So I guess December is when the site changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Sorry if I'm ignorant to the whole Detroit situation, but when your city is crumbling around you. Do you really think building a new arena is at the forefront of city council? I get they've wanted a new one for a while, but priorities change.

Do you really think building a new arena is at the forefront of city council? I get they've wanted a new one for a while, but priorities change. City Council really had little say in the process since the city has been run by a Governor-appointed emergency manager.
