Tough call, as Detroit has a big InterMilan fan base. ;-) A twist in the plans…..

The Detroit Free Press specifically reported MLS. I'd keep an eye on the Free Press for this story in general. They tend to be better overall with scoops and info on just about everything. “I don’t think the two groups are related, which leaves open the possibly that the group is talking about MLS.”

You are correct -- if we're talking about the City of Detroit. But we're not. We're talking about the Detroit metro area. For instance, I'm posting right now from Oakland County, which is the home of the Silverdome. It's the fourth-richest county in the United States. I know it is confusing for outsiders, but "Detroit" and "Detroit" can mean two different things. (Two very different things.) “Detroit is a sink-hole for money, business, and most other things.”
