Ypsilanti is known mainly for being home to Eastern Michigan University’s Infamous Ypsilanti Water Tower, which reminds you of something phallic. The City boasts two downtowns, museums, and the home of Elvis Fest,

The venue will be called “Pipeline,” and the wizard behind the idea is Mike Ludtke, who also owns Inside 20 After 4 smoke shop in Ypsilanti.
What Can We Find At “Pipeline” Concert Venue?
The outdoor amphitheater can hold 650 people. A new concept is a concert venue that will also be a consumption venue.
The idea from Mike Ludtke has been a painstaking 3-year process in the making. As a fellow musician, Mike had always had the idea of putting a concert venue and consumption together for years.
Where Will Pipeline Concert Venue Be Located?
A nice plot of land was acquired: a 4-acre zoned industrial parcel off I-94 next to the water treatment plant in Ypsilanti Township. One area will be the outdoor venue, which will hold up to 650 patrons, and another indoor venue for another 200 plus.
The planning commission signed off. So, in reality, they could break ground at any time, but they hope to start sometime this month.
Venue To Play Host To Lots Of Area Music Styles

Conveniently located near Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, it will make for a great venue for everyone. Also, it is not too close to the neighbors, so maybe the music can be turned up a bit.
Years of hard work went into the planning stages of this new venture, including three years’ worth of sound studies, erosion studies, and other construction hurdles that had to be figured out.
“DJs, electronic music, the local Detroit rap scene, and more are coming hopefully by next Summer.

3 Biggest Threats to a Lions Super Bowl
The Detroit Lions are a supremely talented NFL team in 2024. They were just named the favorite by Sports Illustrated to win the Super Bowl this year. As Lions fans we are in a unique situation for the first time in our franchise’s history. We now are looking at what could possibly prevent our Detroit Lions from making it to their first ever Super Bowl game. But what are the biggest threats to Detroit making the Super Bowl?
With the start of the NFL regular season right around the corner, there is a ton of hype surrounding our beloved Detroit Lions. The team is poised for great things. We are coming off a historic season where the team finished 12-5. Lions quarterback Jared Goff’s consistent play was a massive part of the team’s overall success.
Jared Goff finished the 2023 season with over 4500 Passing Yards, 30 Touchdowns to only 12 Interceptions, and a passer rating of 97.3, with the highest completion percentage of his NFL career. Not to mention his solid play in the playoffs, where it mattered most. Goff also had two solid games and a star-studded performance against the Los Angeles Rams. Anytime you finish a game with an 80% completion rate, you’ve played phenomenally at the Quarterback position. Jared Goff is our guy!
Detroit Has The Cast
While Jared Goff has been excellent in Detroit, he’s not the only star in the motor city. Lions Wide Receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has solidified himself as a top 5 receiver in the National Football League. Finishing in the top 4 in receptions, yards, and touchdowns in 2023, St. Brown is poised to jump from star to superstar this season. Detroit is lucky to have such unbelievable talent and a superb work ethic like Amon-Ra. Not since Megatron has the franchise had a receiver this good.
With other deadly offensive weapons like Sam Laporta, Jahmyr Gibbs, and the rock-solid gritty David Mongomery, this team has everything going for them. Our offense will be a tough matchup for any defense this season. Of course, we cannot forget about the offensive line. With some slight adjustments after the loss of Jonah Jackson, the O line has been revamped and retooled. They’re poised to be a top 5 group yet again, which will be pivotal to match the offensive potency we saw all of last season.

Lastly, the defense has seen significant upgrades at all levels. Multiple players have been added to the secondary, which has been bolstered with reinforcements from two draft picks, a trade, and free-agent signings. The defensive line had two great additions: Marcus Davenport and D.J. Reader. The team has seen some major development from guys like Alex Anzalone, Jack Campbell, and even Derrick Barnes.
Lions Super Bowl
With James Houston healthy again and star edge Rusher Aidan Hutchinson doing his thing, this defense should be a much more fearsome unit this season. More pressure on the quarterback without having to blitz makes the job of the Lion’s secondary much easier. This will be key for Detroit as all these new additions must acclimate to playing alongside each other. With all of these fantastic things you’ve heard about our Detroit Lions, all signs point towards Detroit being a top 5 team again.

Finishing one game short of the Super Bowl this year means we aim bigger. Seemingly, everyone in the state of Michigan has been wanting a Lions Super Bowl for an eternity. What will stop the Detroit Lions? If they’re genuinely this good, nothing should stand in their way. Even still, only three things will prevent a Lions Super Bowl. Find out what those three things are below.
