Detroit Olympia, also known as Olympia Stadium and nicknamed "The Old Red Barn", was best known as the home of the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League from its opening in 1927 to 1979. The stadium was also home to the NBA Detroit Pistons from 1957 to 1961.
The Olympia opened on October 15, 1927, and the primary tenants of the building, the NHL Detroit Cougars, began their long residence. The Cougars played their first game at the Olympia on November 22, 1927, and the visiting Ottawa Senators defeated the Cougars, 2–1. The Cougars later became the Falcons and finally, in 1932, were named the Detroit Red Wings by new owner James E. Norris.
On December 15, 1979, the Red Wings played their final home game at the Olympia, a 4–4 tie against the Quebec Nordiques. The final event at the building took place on February 21, 1980. It was demolished in September 1987.
