Event with 30,0000 HS students in Detroit.
I'm not posting this to :deadhorse: again, and I don't want this turning into a battle of Detroit vs Everybody either. However, on my way downtown for work today, traffic was much more congested than usual and full of school/charter buses. This could mean only one thing - big event.
For those of you concerned for your safety with half of the World Championship coming to Detroit, this weekend should be a good test. Detroit is hosting the ELCA Youth Gathering this week. It's a 5 day event (religious/service) for high school students throughout the world. They are expecting 30,000 students and their adult leaders at the event. Most of the event activities are taking place in Cobo/Ford Field. Sound Familiar? While I'm not a part of this, I can see the large groups shuffling around from atop the Renaissance Center. I also have a few friends that are acting as group leaders for the event. I'll be sure to hit them up for feedback on how they felt when all is said and done. |

My only problem with Detroit is the fact that FIRST is touting the 2 champs as a way to pull in new people. I really don't think Michigan needs any help in that regard...

Thanks for looking at real situations, and not just hypothesizing, Mullen.
Though, as a SoCal team, we're probably looking at Houston as our destination. |

I was wondering what was the deal with all the buses! :ahh:
It will indeed be worth watching to see how this event turns out. |

Please don't spin your conjecture as fact. FIRST already said they were looking at ways to allow for cross-pollination of teams between the two events. |
Re: Event with 30,0000 HS students in Detroit.
OK ok ok... when I said "looking at Houston" I was talking about what the town is like, and how it handles 15k+ kids, not as a choice between champs.
Also, I was trying to be positive. ;) |
Re: Event with 30,0000 HS students in Detroit.
Interesting.. With so much attention on Detroit, what about safety in Houston? Can someone in the Houston area vouch for this?
