Why is the Super Bowl in Detroit?
First of all, the weather sucks here. The Super Bowl is meant to be in a warm area. The city of Detroit is dead. Their is little to nothing to see down there. They don't have space for all the parties so they are having them in abandoned warehouses. The money the city is wasting for nothing. I doubt many people are going to come back to visit Detroit for a vacation. Finally when the media arrives in a couple days we are going to hear this classic on the radio
"Jon Doe of the Oklahoma Herald wrote Detroit is a shithole, lets bombard him with emails and tell him he's wrong" but multiply this by 50. When we all know Detroit looks like a warzone.
Anyway, my point is that the Super Bowl should be in places like Miami, Tampa, New Orleans (Obviously not this year), Atlanta, Phoenix, LA, San Diego, Jacksonville, Houston, etc... Next week is a disaster waiting to happen.
Now that I'm on my rant, someone needs to tell channel 4 to STFU with super bowl parties. Unless you're rich, you can't get into these parties and who wants to go anyway? So I'll look like an idiot trying to hang out with millionaires. And how many people in the area are actually going to the Super Bowl with their $1000 tickets? Fuck the Super Bowl. I'm going to watch my Pistons championship dvd that night and I'm praying for 1 ft of snow next Sunday morning.

I'm sure there are other valid points in there, but I stopped reading at the bolded. Jacksonville was known as the worst superbowl in yearsand the media ripped it a new asshole for having nothing to do, nowhere to eat, impossible traffic, and a average at best stadium. (They ripped Houston too...actually you can probably still find Bill Simmons article) If they say anything about one of the fattest cities (Detroit) in country, it certainly won't be that we didn't even have good food or a good stadium.
Rors-
I agree 100% on the facilities, and I'll take it a step further- it's the best dome in the NFL. After living in ATL for a few years I've gone to the dome a couple times...Ford Field KILLS it.(albeit the GA Dome is older)
