Media, celebs say Detroit did ‘fantastic job’
National TV networks and visiting celebrities projected positive images and spoke kind words of Detroit.
Excerpts from the article:
Overwhelmingly, the television images beamed around the nation Super Bowl Sunday were positive for a city whose usual image is as tattered as it is widespread.
Celebrities and VIPs were unfailingly kind to Detroit in their comments to the media. Complaints of blight, crime and cold weather were seemingly off-limits.
“I think Detroit has done a fantastic job,” said Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on ESPN.
ABC’s viewers saw the city’s skyline lovingly framed throughout the game at times with Motown music serving as the soundtrack. The skyline’s signature feature, the Renaissance Center, figured in many of the shots.
Aerial shots also showed the Ambassador Bridge as a reminder that Detroit is an international border, too.
