Detroit is de locatie voor deze ronde, waarbij de kaart de echte stad is en de bal over de echte straten rolt. De holes zijn gebouwd met behulp van echte bezienswaardigheden in de stad, waaronder Ford Field. Dit is een volledige ronde van 18 holes met een par van 54. De wandeling beslaat 6,9 mijl. Skip is een lokale gids die de omgeving goed kent en af en toe een lekker stukje vindt op het trottoir, waardoor de reis iets interessanter wordt voor een duif.
Ford Field is an indoor stadium in Detroit, Michigan, that first opened in 2002. Since its inception, it has primarily served as the home of the Detroit Lions of the National Football League. From 2023 to 2025, it was also the home of the Michigan Panthers of the United Football League. The stadium was designed by Rossetti Architects and has a regular seating capacity of approximately 65,000. I've noticed the energy here is always high when the Lions are in town.

In 1985, the movie theater was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. I've found the ceilings here are quite a sight for anyone who enjoys a good view.
You can pick out the distinct work of architect George D. Mason in the design of the Gem Theatre. This Detroit movie theater began in 1927 and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. While it started as a cinema, the building has been used as a private event space and wedding venue since 1991. It is currently operated by Forbes Hospitality. I've noticed the area stays quite busy when the two interior theater spaces, the Gem and the Century, are both in use.
Het Detroit Opera House opende voor het eerst zijn deuren op 22 januari 1922. Ontworpen door C. Howard Crane, is dit centrum voor podiumkunsten een belangrijk onderdeel van de cultuur van de stad sinds de opening in 1922. Je vindt het aan 1526 Broadway Street in Downtown Detroit, gelegen in het Grand Circus Park Historic District. De locatie is behoorlijk ruim, met 2.700 zitplaatsen voor gasten. Ik heb hier al veel mensen samenkomen voor een voorstelling; het is een geweldige plek om mensen te bekijken.

I've seen plenty of fans flocking here on game days to support their teams in this part of the city.

The museum covers 658,000 square feet, though it grew even larger when a renovation and expansion project completed in 2007 added 58,000 square feet.

Laat me je het Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit laten zien, gelegen in de Midtown wijk van Detroit. Het is een kunstmuseum dat in 2006 is opgericht. In tegenstelling tot veel andere galerieën die je kunt bezoeken, is dit een niet-collecterend museum voor hedendaagse kunst, wat betekent dat het zich richt op het directe heden in plaats van een verzameling historische stukken op te bouwen. Ik vind het een verfrissende afwisseling van de gebruikelijke museumatmosfeer, omdat de ruimte altijd in ontwikkeling is met de huidige trends in de kunstwereld. Je kunt de duidelijke energie van de Midtown wijk voelen door gewoon naar buiten te stappen.
Let me show you the Charles H. Wright Museum of African-American History. You can find this museum located in Detroit's Midtown Cultural Center.

It is a place where the city's media history and current broadcasts live side by side.

It has earned significant recognition from the Michigan Association of Broadcasters, which named WDET the Public Radio Station of the Year in 2021 and again in 2022. I usually keep an eye on the antenna when I'm flying overhead to see if any of my friends are resting on the equipment.
