    I think Detroit will be the only city that has its baseball, basketball, hockey, football, and soccer team playing in it’s downtown

    That is so cool. I have never been to Detroit, but I have began to watch many Detroit F.C. highlights and have kind of decided they are a team I want to follow.... This is a big step and it will be cool to see the stadium when it's done... Prime location being so close to the railway station, and it would be cool to be able to ride a metro train to a game one day for local residents or visitors.
