Outdoor activities will include exciting inflatables and interactive Coca-Cola Hockeytown Experience games, as well as a live DJ and autograph opportunities from Red Wings alumni like Kirk Maltby, Jiri Fischer, Red Berenson, Jason Woolley and more (subject to change).
Once the doors to Little Caesars Arena open at 11 a.m., features on the Via concourse include balloon artists and face painters, additional alumni appearances and discounted meal combos available at select concession stands.
Puck drop for the matinee home finale against the longtime-rival Penguins is at 12:30 p.m. A limited number of tickets are still available for Fan Appreciation Day at

"We're extremely excited to host a capacity crowd for Fan Appreciation Day, presented by Coca-Cola and Meijer, at Little Caesars Arena for the first time since 2019. Our incredible fans are the heartbeat of Hockeytown, and we look forward to properly thanking them for their unwavering support this season," said Ilitch Sports + Entertainment vice president of partnership activation Molly Wurdack-Folt. "We also couldn't do what we do throughout the season without the support of our valued corporate partners, and we can't thank Coca-Cola and Meijer enough for being the presenting sponsors of Fan Appreciation Day."
Fans not attending the game can still be part of the action by entering the Fan Appreciation Sweepstakes, presented by Coca-Cola and Meijer, for a chance to win 2022-23 Red Wings game tickets, baseball tickets, a Red Wings jersey and prize packs which include a T-shirt, hat and puck.
