The contest to determine that musta been funnier than The Player Haters Ball. Was Rodney Allen Rippy the MC?

Actually Rusty, it was even better than the state outright buying it - the state offered to lease it from the city 10yrs at a time, would pour millions of dollars into fixing it up, and then charge a $11 entrance fee for cars that would cover the yearly $6.2 million in operating costs. The city would still own the island, be absolved of all the yearly costs of running the island as well as any maintenance, and at the end of any 10yr time frame the city could cancel the lease. The state would only have Detroit residents working there too. The moronic idiots on the city council decided to not even vote on this.

Dino, good to know you still retain some allegiance to the Detroit teams! Word of caution though, only root for the Lions on Thanksgiving - anything more is just misery and constant irritation. Take it from a diehard lol

I know. Wasn't a good fit the following week. I myself am an LA guy and can turn on a team on a dime so the trauma wasn't ridiculous.

I lived in Grosse Point Park then and frequented Belle Isle every couple of weeks, a really great place. After my last trip I was using Google Maps and saw that Belle was basically abandoned, nearly everything gone.

For many years I think even Lions fans expected to lose on Turkey day. It was good to see them in the playoffs this year. Hopefully next year.
