CITY OF CHAMPIONS:
A History of Triumph and Defeat in Detroit
City of Champions explores the stories of the city's most gifted athletes and most celebrated teams. Soccernomics authors, Stefan Szymanski and Sile-Maria Weineck show how the fate
of Detroit teams is echoed by the rise and fall of the car industry, political upheavals related to the Depression, WWII, the 1967 Uprising — and more recent bankruptcy and renewal. City of
Champions demonstrates that sports mirror society and help defi ne a city’s sense of self. Please join us for this exciting program on Detroit through the lens of the city’s major sporting
events!
