The WNBA is returning to Detroit, and there’s more than just the team creating buzz.

The city has confirmed to Local 4 that it is in early talks to develop a multisport complex and youth sports academy at the long-abandoned Uniroyal site along the Detroit Riverfront.

The skeletal remains of an unidentified Black man were found while crews were demolishing a Uniroyal plant in Detroit in 2011.

Uniroyal needs to step up it’s game and get with the times. It’s 2022. Everything is bigger. Well except Tigers ticket sales but that’s a different blog.

An ambitious plan that started nearly 20 years ago steadily changed the old Uniroyal site near the Belle Isle Bridge into a true Detroit gem.
