I think I'm glad we're driving this year :) (also visiting friends that 
live about 1 1/2 hours west of Detroit). Last year was so nice to be able 
to take Metro to a stop only a couple of blocks from our hotel. Our main 
decision now is if we want to stay in Detroit Thursday night, and possibly 
Saturday night, as it will be getting late by the time the games are done. 
An hour and a half can be a long way to drive if you feel tired. :)
