Next major sporting event in Detroit?

That was a nice little run with the MLB All Star game, Super Bowl, and Final Four. All of them seemed to go off well, any ideas on when we might get another?
I read a lot about Miami getting an All Star game soon with their new stadium, and lots of teams fighting for the 150th anniversary of the game coming up in 2019 I believe, but I don't hear anything at all about Detroit in the mix.
Any ideas or guesses about when we might host another big event?

Unless the grass is looking good, Detroit will never get another marquee event.

Just walking outside today, I saw burnt and brown patches everywhere. This city can't do a goddam thing right.

No doubt. How can one cut what isn't growing? I can't blame a few individuals for getting frustrated and dumping them.

We are talking about major sporting events. Not a regular season game in a gimmicky location.

How can you say that isn't going to be a big event?!?

They should focus on their own campus first.

The NHL is heading for a long lockout. The game probably won't be played.

Not true
They're getting the U.S. Amateur in 2016
There isn't an available U.S. Open until 2020
The USGA schedules really far in advance

Still, there's a whole week of events downtown. It is a major sporting event in the city.

Maybe Divisional series, but after that it's probably just a personal preference.

I heard Oakland hills will be awarded the us open soon. Not sure on year but it isn't a secret that it is coming.
