Red Wings City Guide

The Red Wings practice at the BELFOR Training Center inside the Little Caesars Arena complex in The District Detroit, on Woodward Ave between Midtown and Downtown. This guide radiates from that address: the strongest privacy plays sit in the historic estate pockets and the gated northern suburbs, while everything an athlete needs day-to-day is a short Woodward-corridor drive away.
