The world, once again, is coming to Detroit. In the last five years The D has been home to so many of the world’s greatest sporting events – The Ryder Cup, Major League Baseball All-Star Game, World Series, Super Bowl XL, Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix, the PGA Championship, and the NCAA Men's Final Four.  We’re America’s Best Sports Town* but we’re also much more.  Now it’s time to welcome college hockey’s best and their fans to a city where…

• The car claims center stage but sports are pursued with a passion
• Where the clubs and churches turn out Grammy winners and inaugural singers
• Where the museums and galleries are changing how we experience art and culture
• Where the people you meet on the street are glad to help you find your way.

As Detroiters, we’re ready to help you discover The D.  To make it a bit easier, we’ve created your one stop shop for what you need to be in the know.  Need help navigating around The D, finding the hot spots to watch the game or where to go celebrate after?  We’ve got you covered.   We have maps, ticket, hotel, bar and restaurant, volunteer information and more available using the links below.  Click on through to make sure you catch all the action.
