The new ballpark enabled Detroit to successfully host the MLB All Star Game in 2005 and also helped promote Detroit as a tourist destination when the Detroit Tigers hosted the World Series in 2006. Mike also encouraged the Ford family to bring the Detroit Lions back to Detroit from the suburbs and build a new stadium right next door to the ballpark by relinquishing a portion of land to make way for the new stadium. The new football venue allowed Detroit to host the Super Bowl in 2006..

He’s trained on well since then and is a little more switched on now.”With two year olds you like to see them coping with the rigors and not showing signs of needing the paddock. Touch wood he’s not showing that at the moment.”After sitting on the speed on debut, Stay Inside showed above average ability in racing clear, while his fellow on pacers weakened, to clock the fastest last 600m (33.32, Punter’s Intelligence) of the 1000m event and the equal best last 200m (11.29).There’s no reason for Freedman to think the youngster won’t be just as strong with an extra 100m and potentially 200m if he passes this test with flying colours.”He probably surprised a little bit, I was happy enough going into the race thinking he could run well,” he said.”Until they do it you never really know but he ran out that race the other day over the shorter trip pretty strongly.

The Warriors are banking on a strong senior season from the sharp shooting guard. In a balanced offensive attack last season, Weitzel finished as the top scorer at 9.3 points per game. She skilled in transition and can knock down the outside jumper.
