NFL players said it all season: We want to go to Detroit.

While the Motor City is destination No. 1 for professional football players, it is probably not among the top hot spots for most Americans.

But city officials and members of the Super Bowl host committee want out-of-towners to know that a new and improving Detroit awaits them.

The 40th edition of the Super Bowl - the biggest spectacle in American sport - hits Detroit's Ford Field on Feb. 5, and along with it will come tens of thousands of people: players and their families, team and league personnel, fans, corporate types, media, celebrities and others.
