xandandl Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 While I know there is a Premiere thread on this page, it almost seems to be avoiding mentioning that the contest is in Detroit. DCPers especially have long complained of the same-old, same-old of Indy and have called for something new. DCI has given us that this summer. Detroit should be afforded the same chatter of where to eat, where to stay, tips to the stadium, comments about the venue, etc. that every other contest and standstill gets (even rainouts.) What's the advice for those going? Any wisdom for the stay at home theater crowd to understand the stadium and its personality? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjoakes Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 No suggestions. Except I read this week about the old train station downtown getting attention and a major investment from Ford. Would be cool to drive by that. I'd be glad to try out new places with the Premier. Maybe it's not so logistically tough to move this one around? But can't make it due to a scheduling conflict.

Trailer and took the tractor to Golden Spike ( North Platte, Men ) largest railroad terminus in the world. Saw it all from the towel..Amazing..

GSNewell Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) Michigan Central Station is an interesting place because of its size and visibility. It sat vacant for a crazy number of years. It just got sold to Ford Motor. It's a big deal in Detroit. Google it and you'll find tons of info. I was in town 3 years ago and went here: https://www.greendotstables.com/detroit-1/ Cool joint. There are lots of new places downtown now, though. Jolly Pumpkin Brewing has a place downtown; I can't imagine that it's not excellent. Wish I could be there for the show.
