Going Green at the Joe

The Red Wings face off against the Minnesota Wild at Joe Louis Arena on Wednesday March 20th for DTE Energy’s third annual 'Going Green Night'.

The Red Wings and DTE Energy have collaborated on several projects, including Light the Lamp, where goal lamps and scoreboard lights at Joe Louis Arena were replaced with state-of-the-art LEDs that use less power and have a longer lifespan then the average incandescent light bulb.

As part of the theme night, DTE Energy and the Red Wings will be giving away “Going Green” coolers and will be displaying “Going Green” facts throughout the game on the JLA scoreboard. The Joe will also welcome the 400 fans who won tickets to the game by entering an energy efficiency contest hosted by DTE.

“The Detroit Red Wings have provided a unique venue for helping consumers learn about energy efficiency” said Kim Huffman of DTE Energy. “Events like Going Green Night help us educate consumers on how to save money on their energy bill in a fun way.”

Take part in DTE Energy Going Green Night at Joe Louis arena on March 20 and stop by the DTE Energy tables (located at the east doors and sections 106, 112 and 124 on the concourse) to learn more about how you can make small changes that will have big effects on your energy consumption.

Game time is 7:30 p.m. Doors to Joe Louis Arena open at 6 p.m. “Going Green” giveaway is available to the first 5,000 fans to visit the giveaway tables. Tickets to the game can be purchased by calling 313.396.7575 or visiting DetroitRedWings.com.
