Detroit — The last game Coby Mascowitz and Griffin Giser attended was the first game at Litttle Caesars Arena in 2017.
On Thursday, the two friends from Birmingham were back, cheering the Red Wings against Tampa Bay Lightning in the regular season home opener at LCA.
"Picked a good one to come back to," said Mascowitz, as he and Giser ate a pregame meal on the extremely busy main concourse. "It's pretty exciting to be back with people cheering, and just being with the fans."
And, as Giser was quick to point out, watching the game differently than they've done the past 18 months.
