The 2,000 members of the press will stay in suburban Dearborn, 30 miles from the dome and Bourbon Street North; concerts by Frank Sinatra, Motor City-born Diana Ross and Rocker Rod Stewart in the pregame week are to be held in downtown Detroit; 1,200 buses will cart fans from outlying locations to and quickly from the game.
