Here’s a list of SuperBowl events happening in Detroit so far that I could easily post. There’s plenty of other things going on outside of this like the Winter Blast… If your going to be in the area let me know. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like my place downtown will be ready this week but I can point in the right direction to find accommodations that’s reasonable and not too far away from downtown Detroit. The weather has been really good in the upper 40s and 50s surprisingly!
