The First and Last Superbowl in Detroit

While the Game itself promises to be excellent, to be honest, I'm surprised that the NFL agreed to hold a Superbowl in Detroit altogether. Detroit has a fast talking Mayor and I'm sure the committee from Detroit really sold it. They were blinded by the supposed advancement in the downtown area, but rest assured, the media will be all over Detroit in the next couple weeks.

Just a couple blocks away from Ford Field and you will notice slums and burnt down buildings as well as condemned structures and other eye sores. The cold weather, issues with parking and hotel availability will all be gripes in the media. The three downtown casinos promised to have permanent hotels\casinos in place by now instead of the temporary casinos they are still using. Partly because they are lazy (or greedy) and party due to our Governor raising Casino's taxes, these Hotel resorts were never completed.

And what is there to do in Detroit? It's not like this time of year allows for boating and fishing in the Great lakes. Did I mention it was cold? Yay for the Superbowl but shame on the City of Detroit for not following through on it's promise to the NFL. Detroit will never have an opportunity like this again.

This is also mentioned on the Sports Illustrated website as a point of media attention in the coming weeks
