Construction teams have faced a host of challenges on the Little Caesars Arena in the heart of 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 big, bold ideas incorporated into the design are what make the new arena incomparable. President and CEO of Olympia Entertainment Tom Wilson says project team members traveled all over the country going to different arenas, asking each about the best aspects of their own design.
