Regardless of how things play out Sunday at Ford Field, the Detroit Lions game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is expected to be a big boost to Windsor’s local economy. Whether you’re on the Canadian or U.S. side of the border, businesses have been booming for weeks in south Detroit.
Owners and managers of businesses that serve football fans in the Windsor area say they’re benefiting from the unexpected success of the Detroit Lions.
Downtown councilor Renaldo Agostino is a big Canadian Football League (CFL) fan and has been dreaming of bringing a game to Windsor-Essex for over five years.
