    My goodness the good people of Michigan couldn't find better use for a 30 year old stadium? The cost to maintain the stadium was $1.5M a year. They couldn't generate enough concert and convention revenue to break even? the buyers think so they are going to have major league soccer there.


    It was stupid to build a stadium an hour and a half from the airport which hurts convention business. They have also failed to get the biggest events at the stadium. A Hagler vs Hearns fight fell through back in 82 or 83 that would have certainly made money for that night but Hearns backed out.

    Please tell me that every politician in Michigan is not brain dead.

    just illustrates how far down the city has sunk. My cousin has lived in and around Detroit most of her life. She says the city is dead, just nobody will give it a decent burial.

    How does someone get away with that, for the long? It seems like they just let this guy rape and pillage the city while everyone stood by and watched him do it.

    If I thought I could get myself a stadium for half a million, I would have called Bud Adams and said we can be partners if you just use your right bird. Wow, what a dirt cheap price. Honestly for that kind of money, I might just live there, and play football with my buddies all day. My parents house costs over 4X that amount and could fit inside a hundred times probably. It's the surrounding area that killed its value.
