New auction offers the chance to buy “Joe Louis Arena” letters


By @MichaelCaples –

There’s another auction taking place for items from Joe Louis Arena, and while there may not be as many eye-catching items as the first go-round, there’s one…massive…item up for sale.

From June 6 through June 8, fans have the opportunity to bid on the iconic “Joe Louis Arena” lettering that welcomed patrons into the building.

That’s right – with the right bid, you can own the 5-foot tall “Joe Louis Arena” letters.

The auction is being conducted by Orbitbid.com. It ends on June 5.

Other items include bar tops, railings, ticket office windows and more. Check it all out here.
