Detroit Lions Practice Facility Moving Downtown?

That would be an absolutely awful use of that land.

You do remember this is the same place that they thought a jail would be the best use of that plot?

All kidding aside, I fully agree that land [[along with the soon to be demolished jail/hall of justice buildings) would be much better suited for high density mixed use or residential.

Lmao that was before Gilbert got the land. I don't think he would spend all that money building a jail for the county just to turn around and sell that land to the Lions for cheap to build a practice facility. He needs to recoup his investment and there is no way the Lions are gonna spend hundreds of millions on a practice facility.

Let's hope DG has something up his sleeve. Now that a few of his major projects have wrapped or are wrapping up, it would be nice to see the Fail Jail, Brewster, and Monroe Blocks sites start steaming ahead.
