Detroit is not what they told us it is 😂. We had a blast there, top notch. If there is one thing I never knew about Detroit it’s that the people are amazing. Super warm and welcoming, just an overall friendly vibe. I was super impressed with the atmosphere

[@donbur1553]

Most judge us without ever coming to visit detroit is a beautiful place Glad you enjoyed, and we thank you and welcome you back anytime God bless!

[@Cheebaroni812-kx5yt]

@@donbur1553 thank you so much! We will definitely be back. We came with a group of 12 and all were really impressed

[@Cheebaroni812-kx5yt]

@@donbur1553 also the way the stadiums are built in to downtown is so great ! It’s like an open sports district. Ford field, Comerica park and LCA all within walking distance of each other. Super cool

[@donbur1553]

@Cheebaroni812-kx5yt Its so awesome to hear someone outside of the city have such a positive attitude! It really warms ny heart because we get such a bad rep which just Isn't the case every city has bad things & people but overall it's a very cool place ! Where are u from if you don't mind me asking ? Bless you & thanks again

Detroit STAYS slept on....unless you go there. Once you do, it's beyond appreciated. The vibes. The energy. The safety. It's all there. Oh yeah, and to all the scared people, it's murder rate is the lowest it's been in like 30 years. People know that the city's coming back & crime is slowing down because of it. It's wonderful.

[@randallgoeswhere]

Thank you to everyone who came out from out of state. I hope you had a good time.

Saturday was 80 degrees. ❤

People who haven't been around the city much don't realize just how back from the dead the downtown through midtown areas of the city are. There are still really rough neighborhoods in the residential areas but central areas, and Corktown are very revived. Detroit is quite used to blocking off central areas like this for public use as they don't annually for the Labor Day Detroit Jazz Festival, the world's largest free 4 day jazz fest where hundreds of thousands attend over the holiday.

Downtown detroit has been good since the late 90s. Spent A LOT of my high school years hanging out and partying Downtown. The recession in 08 was a minor setback for 5 to 6 years. That's about it. Downtown has been going strong for over a decade now. This isn't new.

[@skbwolverine]

Exactly. Detroit is no worse than any other big city in terms of any problem areas. It's great and there is always plenty of things to do. I never understood all the hate, either.

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

Very true. Though while I love and prefer Jazz fests over NFL drafts, this draft has already broken attendance records (>700k already) compared to around 300k for the jazz fest, and is showing off the potential of the area as a venue for events and fests like this

[@lafawnodon1889]

"But We Are Trying Hard With Others Help Climb Up From The Rough Side Of The Mountain!!!"Amen Let's Build This Place Up As Much We The People In All Area's Of Southeast Michigan And The Entire State!!("Detroit It We Were A Success!!!"Looking Forward To Other Events!!!"Congratulations,Detroit!!!"

[@deyof2078]

@@bingo8789yea I’m still young around 08 downtown had such a dreary feeling. It just feel welcoming now, look great at night

[@A.J.Valenti]

I missed out...the first 2 days it reached maximum capacity before I could get there and the last day I came when it closed down. Thank you for showing what it was like inside so I could see, we should make downtown a walking paradise all the time. It seems like people had a blast, I hope it was great, and people return for another visit soon!

[@aliwantizu]

I went there on Day 3 (Saturday,) got there between 1 and 2 or so. Had an awesome time. Fewer people than the first 2 days, but still TONS of people everywhere. I walk around downtown all the time, highly recommend!

[@mbwell]

The parties never stop in Detroit. If you don’t believe me, checkout the Techno festival during the Memorial Day weekend.

[@Adri_Unsung]

Techno festival, MoPop, Jazz Festival, Dally in the Alley, all the various cultural festivals, etc etc etc. best city on the planet

[@annettadean5479]

Sooo glad you had a great time. I have lived in Detroit all my life (64 years) and love my city. Yes we have problems but we are resilient! Please come back😊

[@noorzanayasmin7806]

I have always loved downtown Detroit. Loved walking through the area. So much to see so much to do. And all the diverse food man. Happy to see it is getting nationwide recognizition. The vibe there is just different.

[@weeboneentertainment2929]

I hate big crowds and I have a bad back for walking and standing. This video is so cool it helps us feel the magnitude without the work!!Appreciate it

[@jaybrick8973]

I hope this is the first of many drafts in Detroit we broke the attendance record

[@mackenzihobbs2299]

2:10 to 2:18, the guy in the 87 jersey is my uncle 😂

[@jonjhon8491]

What up, Unc!

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

Beautiful

[@j_bird_]

beautiful city, eh?

[@zuozhen4758]

And the NFL continues to be the King!

[@zuozhen4758]

The Lions will be tough for many years

[@robertmoore5026]

It’s funny for me to watch this as I live in Detroit 😂😂😂

[@RyTheFly]

22:30 🤣😂🤣 #OnePride🦁🏈

[@inspireitstyle]

Thanks very nice video! Did you also capture it from the perspective once the crowds formed? Or evening/night view?

[@FluxCity]

I didn't, I made it right when they opened the gates on the first day but left before it reached capacity.

[@umunthu]

I did. I wasn't planning on sharing but this video may have just inspired me. I've got some edits to do though...

[@inspireitstyle]

What kind of camera do you use?

[@FluxCity]

Using a phone currently, a Samsung s23 Ultra (recorded in 4k)

[@r3tr0actiongamer24]

The draft is boring as it is let alone having to be in a toilet like Detroit

[@DSN313]

Glad you captured the essence of Detroit and the draft and of course @bigwilliestylez and @WisemanCass made a cameo in your video!

[@aliwantizu]

Wow, you must have gotten there VERY early as there weren't a ton of people and you got all the way to the edge of the draft theater. I went there on Day 3 (Saturday,) got there between 1 and 2 or so. Had an awesome time. Fewer people than the first 2 days, but still TONS of people everywhere. I walk around downtown all the time, highly recommend! Thanks for sharing this great walking glimpse of a slept on location! Also...Go Lions! 💙🤍🦁

[@FluxCity]

Yes, got there when they opened up the gates (around 11:30am)!
