Best Detroit Red Wings Themed Basement Fan Caves

The Detroit Red Wings were founded in 1926. They were originally called the Cougars, then the Falcons in 1930, and finally, the Red Wings beginning in 1932. Legend Gordie Howe joined the team in 1946, and in 1949, the team had their first game broadcast on television.

It’s our hunch that the first Red Wings-themed basement fan cave was built around the same time that the first game was broadcast. Fast forward to today, and here’s our pick of the best Detroit Red Wings-themed basements.

1.  The Ultimate Wing Fan

This guy has found everything related to the Red Wings and decorated his fan cave. From the Red Wings bar to the bathroom, it’s covered in red. It includes a 55-inch video display, a surround sound system, an air hockey table, and more. Completion time was two years at a cost of $25,000 to $30,000. Incredible.
