Recreational, sporting and music are really growing as economic drivers in Southern Michigan these days.
Things like this soccer match, The Tigers are bringing full house crowds to Comerica park, the Faster horses festival at MIS drew better than 60,000 a week or so back. They’re also restarting the state fair at MIS. We even have a new History Channel reality show about the guys at Darkhorse brewery in Marshall (Darkhorse Nation)
“Recreational, sporting and music are really growing as economic drivers in Southern Michigan these days.”
It is always good to see commerce developing/money changing hands, but the “bread and circuses” economy is a house of cards. As real jobs become scarce, the number of participants/customers at these events dwindle. Good for a transitional stage, but won’t sustain an economy.
I was happy to see so many fans at the game.
