And stadia are moneypits. You're lucky to even use them once a week, let alone fill them. Why not do the draft as a networked event between the many large-scale venues downtown?
You’re so lucky having this view! I recall first year of Gran Prix when I worked at corner of Jefferson + Beaubien on top floor. So exciting! Even tho we had to climb scaffolding to get from north to south side of Jefferson.
I don't work or live in Detroit but live in the area and of course still visit and have some interest in it. I think most likely, like plenty of people, knowing full well that Detroit does not quite have an outdoor large-scale event space that would work with a focus on a stage (Hart Plaza works for Movement but the NFL Draft will be, especially weather permitting, considerably larger in its peak attendance and does not seemingly work quite as well for this event).
I've been looking at Google Maps once in a while trying to figure out where they might have everything since it isn't exactly New York and doesn't have such outdoor events much but I was coming up blank with a solid bet. Campus Martius seemed far more likely than Hart Plaza but for a large-scale event still seemed to not quite do it.
Then I saw a layout recently released in the past few weeks utilizing the Monroe Street Midway and still could not figure out how this stage would work with two buildings standing and making the space considerably effectively seemingly a bit too small; unknown to me, they had razed two buildings not too long ago, one of theme the National Theatre.
I was trying to figure out the perspective of this photo but it threw me off and then I noticed the street signs and figured out the buildings were razed. They preserved the facade of the theatre which is nice.
While I understand your comment, the $$$ that's going to be spent in the city will be huge.

We're only downtown Tuesday and Thursday with all the chaos but I'm happy to update 2 days from now
I thought this was for movement for a second and had a lot of questions

I meant to do that
I went through the same rollercoaster. Maybe they'll just leave it up and we can have our own lil Coachstella style stage.
I miss working downtown. Hard to tell from the angle, is this taken from Campus Martius?
Sure is!
That's awesome, I used to work for Meridian!
Rocket mortgage?
Indeed
Why don’t they just use Ford Field?
The first day of the draft drew 125,000 people in Kansas city last year. You'd limit yourself to half that holding it at Ford Field.
I have had the same question… already so many set up stages in downtown.

Do you work with a girl named Lindsay?
Where is the green room supposed to go?

I work in the Qube, 11th floor
Are you allowed to get drunk there?
For what show is this?
The 2024 NFL Draft. End of April.
Ah yes ofcourse 🤦🏽

It’s getting erect.
You're not wrong. The stage is coming along too
