Detroit has such a negative image, much of it deserved. As a life long detroit area guy, it would be nice to see some positive press... and it would also be nice to then turn that postive press into a revitalization. Not counting on it, but it would be nice.

I've heard a lot about Detroit's image, and while like you said, most of it is deserved, I don't think anything CAN happen during the SB. It's only going to be there for like 2 weeks.

should still be a nice opportunity for the city even if it is short-lived, maybe they'll get it back in the future if all goes well

I think a massive blizzard could cause a lot of problems. I also worry that transportation is going to be a major issue. There isn't exactly a good public system to move large numbers around, and I think people are going to get a bit pissy if they have to walk all the way from Cobo, where most of the NFL Experience stuff is occurring I believe, to Ford Field.
I hope they get it right, but I just have this gut feeling something is going to make it a fiasco. I wish it had been there a year earlier so I could at least experience whatever does happen in the city.

The media bitched a lot about having to be 5-6 miles from the stadium in Jacksonville last year. Gonna be funny when they're 20-30 miles away this year somewhere out in Oakland County.

Exactly. I know they've put up some new hotels and everything, but I just can't see it being enough to handle the crowd associated with a Super Bowl. If it actually gets cold and snows, that's going to be the biggest story leading into the game.
