I like the modern Lumber/Wood parts while also dislike cheap way out budget clad look. All in all, grateful we are getting a stadium. Can always give it a facelift if this pro soccer business takes off.

I say maybe its a "If you build it they (retail, housing, ect) will come." type thing. The Wests-side neighborhood has plenty of room for developments and mid density apartments to build around the stadium.

I like the idea of outdoor eating, late night food, affordable spot to hit. I just wish its wasn't Adobe. I dont hate Adobe but its never something I have to have. At first thought I was thinking that this was nothing big enough for a large project. Then looking at an aerial it is quite a large parcel in some prime real estate.

I might kick myself down the road for posting this.. Its a small group. If you guys are looking to get passed paywalls check out this site: https://archive.ph/ I know we should support local media but well Mlive isn't that great to me.

This is the answer I want(ed).

Its a stretch I know but the Vegas one had band playing at a venue in the hotel. Plus Richard Branson owning Virgin Records. More of a hopeful wish. I also have not stayed or been to a Hard Rock Café or Hotel since a kid in the 90s.

I'd love that music themed hotel brand to be Virgin Hotels over Hard Rock. I've been to Vegas and Chicago both great!

GR Gold is a second highest level as well correct?

More than Wisconsin/UP Packers transplant fan?

Stopping in EL and Ann Arbor would be great for people going to games and students to those schools who are from metro GR/Detroit. The amount of times I've wanted to catch a concert or game in DET/EL/AH but dont need to spend $200 to spend the night..... (cause I might like to have a few adult beverages at said show /game)

I was expecting Aquinas to jump on this property..

I know its a parking garage but some trees would be great. Was just their this weekend for Hispanic Festival and was a fun event as always (packed). The number one complaint I have when that area has an event is the heat. I seems like its always a scorcher. I has so much more potential but i'll probably be 100 yo when/if its finally finished like the river.

Glass is going in!
