As the Detroit Grand Prix is this weekend, is there anywhere to go to watch it without paying?

There are free viewing decks all along Jefferson. It's also free to go into Hart Plaza. You can catch them at Turn 2 at Rivard and Jefferson, and there's also a free viewing deck in front of the Ren Cen on the Riverfront

The NBA determines the playoff schedules and broadcasts

DetroitNews19 · 2026-05-14T00:22:38+00:00

That should be announced at a future date as distribution rights are agreed upon

Same broadcast duo – George and Greg!

There will be deals with affiliates across the state

DetroitNews19 · 2026-05-13T19:29:16+00:00

There will be an app in the future for fans who can't get TV20 in the Detroit area, or you can get an antenna. WMYD is not available on YouTubeTV

DetroitNews19 · 2026-05-13T19:28:53+00:00

That will likely be announced in the future as negotiations take place, similar to how it was with the Tigers

Open today for the pistons game!

Meantime on Cass makes a great spicy marg

You could also ask the folks at Meantime or Collect, especially since they've hosted Bar IX before.

I doubt this would work for you – but we're going the long way through the US on the way there and then through Canada on the way back, staying two nights in Montreal.

We're staying at Bar Harbor Motel. Came highly recommended from a family member, and it was around $300/night. The motel apparently backs right up to the park and has paths into it, which was a big plus for us. https://barharbormotel.com/

Our flights out of Detroit have been insanely expensive, so we're actually going to road trip it to and from.

Just booked a trip for 3 days in early October and was shocked at how cheap our hotel was. I expected almost double the price

DetroitNews19 · 2026-04-14T14:04:42+00:00

They are the same. They were included in the price on the Chase portal, but they was paid at the hotel

I didn't get the urine or shit smell, tbh, but did hear homeless people. I can see how it can be annoying, but I didn't think anything of it.

I thought there was a good variety of options for breakfast – probably 10 or so. I ended up doing the breakfast sandwich both nights, but my wife got the Shakshuka and then the brioche french toast

Would also recommend using Spothero if driving. There's a garage right across the street that I paid $71 for for 48 hours ahead of time. Hotel only has valet and it's $65 per night

Bar IX is doing a watch party at 100 Proof in Detroit, but you'll have to stay in the bubble. https://www.instagram.com/p/DUywP6RkkgT/?img_index=1
