SUPER BOWL XL: Majority surveyed have no impression of Detroit

A recent survey shows that there are a lot of people across the country who don\'t know much about Detroit.

He answered, \"No, what it is going to do is it really needs to motivate or energize this region to start thinking of itself in a positive light.\"
