from George Sipple of the Detroit Free Press,
Frozen Four co-chairmen William Clay Ford Jr. and Christopher Ilitch spoke to reporters today at Ford Field while workers put the finishing touches on the ice rink and temporary seating that will be used for the NCAA Division I men’s hockey championship this week in Detroit.
Detroit Mayor David Bing and Central Collegiate Hockey Association commissioner Tom Anastos also were on hand.
“When we built Ford Field, we wanted to build the finest multipurpose arena in the country,” Ford said. “I think we’ve done just that. We’ve obviously had the Super Bowl, the Final Four and now we’re going to have the world’s largest indoor game here at Ford Field. We’ll set an attendance record for the Frozen Four.”
Organizers expect more than 30,000 fans to watch Thursday’s semifinals.

from Tom Walsh of the Detroit Free Press,
The 2010 Frozen Four at Ford Field in Detroit might not have the sports cachet or instant name recognition of a Super Bowl or basketball Final Four, but it’s got some very cool stuff going for it:
• A couple of high-profile cochairs who can actually lace up their skates and handle a stick—Bill Ford Jr. and Christopher Ilitch….
“It’s going to be an electric atmosphere in downtown Detroit,” Ilitch said Monday of the Frozen Four week.
On April 7, the Red Wings are to host the Columbus Blue Jackets in a game with possible NHL playoff implications. On April 8, the Frozen Four NCAA semifinals are to be played at Ford Field. Next door on April 9 the Tigers’ baseball home opener is scheduled. And on the 10th is to be the Frozen Four Championship game.
