RIP Greektown: Laikon Closing

I never have any occastion to park in the casino garages, but can someone tell me, are they ever at capacity? Is a new garage really a necessity? They've got the humungous garage that's attached to the hotel, and another one one block south of the casino at Fort and Beaubien If necessary, people can park at the garage they orginally used one block east at Monroe and Brush. These are three big garages!

I park at Greektown daily from 5:00pm to 7:00am [[the next morning) and finding a spot is never a problem - always plenty of spaces.

The main deck adjacent the hotel nears capacity [[i've been sent to the roof a couple of times) during events at the stadiums. A couple of years ago they started charging 10 bucks several hours prior to events. This obviously deters people going just to the casino who expect free parking. On the other hand, they pick up a lot of extra business before and after games and concerts. They obviously think there is demand for more paid parking on event days.
