Agree 100% with 313WX.
It is "S*it or get off the can" for Detroit's bid. Detroit's bid is 'constipated' because no decision has been made by Wayne County.
To cause the bid 'to move' it was necessary for Detroit's owners to indicate a playing site.
As I indicated earlier, I really think it would be a temporary site. Kind of like: Ford Field 2020 - TBD. New stadium: TBD.
The 'downside' for MLS is that they are being asked to approve a bid where the long term location of a stadium is not known.
In fairness to all involved, the holdup as indicated is with Wayne County, not Gores-Gilbert-Ford.
Fords are trying to save this bid. W/out their help, the bid would probably need to be withdrawn.
