Can he buy the Lions from those idiots that run Ford... PLEASE!!!!!

I was really hoping he would buy the Pistons and move them and the Wings next to the Lions/Tigers. You imagine having a stadium on each corner down there, close of the streets and just have a great time

Any new developments?

I live out of state and haven't been following the local stadium news. Are they set to build a new arena or what?

No site has been chosen yet but here are the locations being mentioned... My guess is behind the Fox Theatre.

They are the area directly behind the Ilitch-owned Fox Theatre; an area opposite the Ilitch-owned MotorCity Casino bounded roughly by Grand River, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and the Lodge freeway; and an area of mostly vacant lots west of Woodward and just north of I-75. The Ilitch organization owns a considerable amount of land in the downtown area.

Mike Ilitch, the one man army with the task of renovating Detroit. Can you imagine what Detroit would be like without him?
