About this episode
Sports are more than competition; they are a catalyst for economic development, community pride, and national visibility.
The Detroit Sports Commission works year-round to attract elite amateur and professional sporting events that generate tourism, create jobs, showcase world-class venues, and strengthen Southeast Michigan's economy.
