Detroit Sports Blog

Well survived day one of supposed Traffic Madness.  Took a stroll down I-96 from Livonia in.  And took a stroll from downtown back through I-94.  Both Clear and free of any major traffic problems.

Interestingly enough though it is AMAZING how clean the freeways are.  On a normal day its normal to see a few beds, tires, trash, dead bodies (just kidding), and other mish mash of things laying around on the side of the road.  But i give Huge props to the NFL host committee on doing a wonderful job cleaning up the debris.  It was funny last week seeing the FLEETS of vans and workers lined up and down the cities major freeways.

With Woodward being closed i didn't get a chance to see too much of the downtown area, but on Thursday last week i was down there and they were working on the MILES of tents and vendor areas lined up and down most of the streets down there.  The City is doing itself Proud so far

The real test for me will be when i go to the Kid Rock Concert on Friday.  I will be taking the tranist bus from Fairlane Mall in Dearborn.  Hopefully that goes as smooth as it supposed to. Visit www.detroitmi.gov/ddot  for more information on shuttles and parking.

So looks like Detroit scores an A so far hopefully we can show the world we are number one in other things other than murders and fatness!!

UPDATE #1  If your looking for housing during your stay, you should have your place rented by wednesday.  Go to realestateone.com they say they have a few rentals still available.

UPDATE #3  Oh if anyone is in town and gets some awesome pics with celebrities or atheletes, and you dont mind me putting them on here, I would love to add those to the site as the week progresses. Please send me an email.
