Construction teams have faced no shortage of challenges on the new Little Caesar’s Arena in the heart of downtown Detroit, from tracking sustainability for multiple buildings to creating an arena with one of the steepest bowls ever built.
For the owner, Olympia Development, the construction arm of the Ilitch family’s business network, the biggest, boldest ideas of design that went into this project are what make the new arena incomparable to any other. President and CEO of Olympia Entertainment Tom Wilson says they traveled all over the country going to different arenas, asking each about the best aspects of their own design.
