Shouldn't you be working? I thought you were to good to post on message boards.
I have been to Michigan a few times, but never dumb enough to want to hang out in Detroit. I don't need to go to the projects to know they are there.......

I've been on conference calls most of the day, nothing better to do than read USCHO while I'm listening. You on the other hand have work you should be doing!
If you haven't been there, don't comment. Downtown isn't projects at all, its also not Chicago but I never felt unsafe and we didn't just hang out by the arena, our hotel or the casino's, we actually moved around and saw nearly all of downtown. (but there are areas we avoided, we're not stupid)

Only, it takes 45 minutes to an hour to get around to a few places using the L system. Not 10 minutes to anywhere like the people mover.
Ha! Wow, you got buffaloed by Chicago, didn't you. It ain't all glitz and glamor in downtown Chicago. And lots of rough patches to get to the good areas, just like Detroit.

Re: tOfficial 2012 Outdoor Great Lakes Invitational Thread
a lot of people have told me the city is a dump including you. Don't try and come on here and say suddenly you think it is a nice place.
To say I can't comment on a place or say I don't ever want to go there because I haven't been there is crazy talk. It's like saying you can't comment on college hockey if you never played it.

advise for going to Detroit : grow a pair
its a big city. yup its got some badass neighborhoods. its got a lot of good stuff too. just like Chicago, New York, Boston, Denver, Miami, Los Angeles, San Franc, Salt Lake, Phoenix (or is it Pheonix? [inside joke - Jan won't understand]), Atlanta, Dallas, Cinncinati, Cleveland, Tampa, etc etc etc. its a big city. scary I know.

That's kind of a poor choice for a list of cities since he lives in the Twin Cities and the Twin Cities metro is larger than those of Denver, Salt Lake, Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Tampa
Re: tOfficial 2012 Outdoor Great Lakes Invitational Thread
In Detroit/SE Michigan they do. We drew 106,000 for a college game. And it's not just the Wings, it's the Leafs. Toronto is only a 4 hour drive a way, full of hockey crazed fans who've never tasted an outdoor stadium game. I bet they could draw 200,000 for this game if they had the seats and priced it right. (Granted, NHL tickets will cost a lot more than the Big Chill tickets did.)

My luck I'd get stuck with backstretch tickets.

I knew it, GLI. It was just a matter of time.

Re: tOfficial 2012 Outdoor Great Lakes Invitational Thread
I have it on good authority that, like this fan, the St. Cloud State mascot was also too terrified to come to the GLI. But not because he's afraid of Detroit...with the Maple Leafs in town he was worried Mike Komisarek would be there!

Re: tOfficial 2012 Outdoor Great Lakes Invitational Thread
This number was later certified after the game to be a new world record of 104,173 tickets scanned, more than enough to smash the previous record.

Re: tOfficial 2012 Outdoor Great Lakes Invitational Thread
I should go get a shovel to smack you for that DAMMIT!
Yeah, but you would get to move up because most of the Leaf fans would likely all be stuck out on US-12 trying to get into the game because they didn't know that they really needed to be parked there the night before because getting there really sucks.

You guys think Tech volunteered to move it to CoPa? I think it was more that Illitch was like, "So guys... I'm building this sweet rink at my ballpark. You can play there if you want, but JLA is kinda gonna be closed... So yeah..."

Obviously not since I just taught you geography. Just sayin' that if your going to give a guy a hard time for not wanting to go to a "big scary city," at least pick cities that are actually bigger than the one he lives in. I, personally, wouldn't have a problem going to Detroit.
Anyway, sorry for getting way off topic, I understand wanting all Michigan teams for this particular event, SCSU being bumped doesn't bother me at all.
Re: tOfficial 2012 Outdoor Great Lakes Invitational Thread
You're teaching a pretty crappy geography lesson if you don't know that there's a difference between the size of a metropolitan area, and the size of the central city's downtown area. The Twin Cities area is known for being ridiculously suburban.

I've never understood what's so "scary" about the parts of Detroit anyone would visit. Guess growing up on the hardened streets of Rochester Hills just got me prepared for that ****
