I miss the Met Center.

Tell us something we don’t know. There are a lot of innovative things growing in Detroit right now (besides the herb and working girls).

League should have bought it and relocated the HHOF inside. Granted I hope they gave fans the chance to buy seats like they did with the Montreal Forum.

The old Boston Garden is a patch of asphalt now. For those who get nostalgic in Toronto or Montreal, at least you can go shopping.

Just like “America” didn’t let Detroit turn into a sh!thole – Detroit did (by having a singularly based working force). If you looked at this properly you would’ve realized that the 2nd & 3rd floors are being used by the University & there is a rink on the 3rd floor. Ideal? No, realistic, yes. Better then tearing it down

Given the value of the property, there were only so many options.

They even painted over the blue maple leaf on the roof this week.

How did Canada allow this to happen?
