“I think they saw what happened last year with the Draft and saw what Detroit sports fans are like and I think that’s why they said we need to bring it here to Detroit,” said Tommy Salami.

The venue will feature an 87-foot 12K LED dome and Shared Reality technology. It will feature a variety of sports through partnerships with the NBA, UFC, TNT, NBC, ESPN, FOX and the NFL. There will also be a mix of experimental content.
