Re: Detroit

I love Detroit and given the density of Michigan teams, I think it was a good choice.

What I don't get is the opening ceremonies being held at Ford Field ~1 mile from the main event at Cobo. We really don't have a valid public transit system to move people from one to the other. If you pick the right route it's not a bad walk, pick the wrong one and it might be a little more educational.

I am also a little worried that Cobo while certainly large enough, does not really have an appropriate venue for the finals/Einstein matches -- after the renovation there is no "arena", so stadium seating will need to be installed?
