I was thinking of 'economic development' over the decades:
1). The Fox,
2). Comerica Park, home of the Tigers,
3). Ford Field, home of the DETROIT Lions,
4). Super Bowl,
5). Dan Gilbert goes big in Detroit,
6). LCA, home of the Red Wings,
7). LCA, home of the DETROIT Pistons
8). District Detroit, home of our four pro teams and maybe soccer, too.
I see a common thread in these seven or eight, namely, the economic development effects of pro sports in Detroit.
But, maybe more significantly, is the sequential nature of them and how the they all build on each other. Other than the Fox, all have/are happening within the last 20 years.
