Joe Louis Arena Tales!

Ron shares another unbelievable business story from the 1990s.Back when Detroit Red Wings games at Joe Louis Arena were the hottest ticket in town, Ron invited several executives from one of Detroit’s Big Three automakers to a game in his company’s corporate suite. One executive and his wife were new to Detroit, and she was nervous about visiting downtown, so Ron personally promised to make sure they had a safe evening.While Ron escorted the VP and his wife, team member Harry brought two executives known for their hard-partying ways. Before long, the pair started an argument with guests in the neighboring suite—rumored to be owned by the mafia. Ron quickly smoothed things over and switched hosting duties, asking Harry to take care of the VP and his wife.When the game looked decided, the VP and his wife left early with Harry. An hour later, after the game ended, Ron headed to the parking garage and was stunned to find the VP and his wife still standing there—freezing cold and covered in icicles."Where's Harry?" Ron asked.They pointed across the garage just as Harry ran by in a panic, yelling, “I can’t find my car! I can’t find my car!”As Harry raced by yet again, the two intoxicated executives suddenly yelled, "There's his car!"Having arrived with Harry earlier, they recognized it immediately.Without hesitation, they took off running, tackled Harry before he could make another lap around the garage and finally reunited him with the vehicle he had been searching for all night.Needless to say, that was the last time the VP and his wife went to Joe Louis Arena!Just another legendary—and completely unbelievable—business-world adventure from Boomers on the Edge.Adult themes and language.Boomer rating: On the Edge.Send us Fan Mailhttps://[email protected]
