New Stadium Reaction, I-375 Thoughts, And A Mammoth Demo

Show notes

Today's show is in three parts. Download it here.

First, we're talking about the new stadium coming for Detroit City FC, AlumniFi Field - that will be rising near Michigan and 20th streets, down the road from the former Tiger Stadium site and tied into the Southwest Detroit and Corktown communities.

Get the details, get rendering reactions, and more.

Plus, the I-375 project that would have turned it into a surface level boulevard has been "paused" by MDOT.

We discuss it from different angles, including the missed opportunity of not engaging the community properly, and the importance of not wasting a decade talking about things and instead just actively engaging and getting it done. 

And we end with some west side news, as Norris Howard tells us about the demolition of the old Mammoth building on Grand River.
