The Sweet 16 is in full swing at Little Caesars Arena, and the excitement is palpable in Detroit. Business owners are gearing up for the influx of fans and visitors as Purdue seeks to secure a spot in the Final Four for the first time in over 40 years.
At Harry’s Detroit, the general manager, Hugh Leonard, has transformed the parking lot into an outdoor bar to accommodate the crowds. With the potential for 800-900 people to be in attendance, Leonard is making sure to stock up on supplies well in advance to avoid any last-minute chaos.
Meanwhile, road closures near Campus Martius are already in place as the city prepares for the upcoming NFL Draft. This may cause some traffic delays, deterring rideshare drivers like Walter Sunga from waiting around for fares.
Despite the potential traffic headaches, the city is buzzing with energy as fans gather to watch the games and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere. Leonard is excited to showcase Detroit to visitors and provide them with a true taste of the city’s hospitality.
As the Sweet 16 games continue and the city gears up for more major sporting events, Detroit is proving to be a hub of excitement and entertainment for sports fans and visitors alike. Stay tuned for more updates on the action-packed events happening in the Motor City.
