Shocked someone like you would see the glass half empty. Saying three great events are going on downtown a ton of people in restaurants and clubs and choice of a concert football or baseball game is a bad thing?

Wow. My suggestion to you would definitely be to stay out then.

A bevy of NCAA championship events will be heading to Detroit in the coming years.

The Detroit Sports Commission was awarded seven bids by the NCAA on Tuesday, highlighted by the men’s Frozen Four hockey championship in 2020, the first and second rounds of the men’s NCAA Tournament in 2021, and the Division I wrestling championships in 2022.

Michigan State University will play host for the Frozen Four, the University of Detroit Mercy and Oakland University for the NCAA Tournament and the University of Michigan for the wrestling championships. The Red Wings’ and Pistons’ new home, Little Caesars Arena, will be the venue for all three events.

The bids were among 54 submitted by the DSC for 15 championship events in nine sports for 2019-22.

“It did exceed our expectations,” DSC director Kris Smith said. “We would've been pleased with three (events). Four and five we would've been sitting in dreamland somewhere. I think when No. 7 rolled across the screen we all just kind of sat back and said, 'Wow.'

Demolition permits have been filed for three early 20th century apartment buildings and a 70-year-old house, including two buildings rumored in recent weeks to be facing the wrecking ball from Detroit-based Olympia Development of Michigan.

The permits to demolish the Hotel Ansonia at 2447 Cass Ave. and the Atlanta Apartments at 2467 Cass Ave., both located at the Fisher Service Drive, were issued Friday, according to city records. A demolition permit was also issued Friday for the vacant apartment building at 427 Henry St. west of Cass.

And a house at 664 Charlotte St. between Second and Third avenues is also slated to come down, according to documents filed with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.

The DEQ documents, called "notifications of intent to renovate/demolish," say demolition is expected to begin June 29 and end Aug. 31. All four buildings are owned by Olympia, the documents say.
