Here's why I'm asking this question - ready? First the question:

"What famous place in Detroit (and surrounding area) would you like to have a sleepover in?" 

You can do whatever you want there (within reason)

So why are we talking about this? Because two American tourists were caught having an illegal sleepover . . . in THE EIFFEL TOWER.

They were able to dodge security on Sunday night . . . and weren't caught until the guards were making their rounds before opening on Monday.

Officials say the tourists were drunk . . . but it's not clear if they accidentally passed out up there or if it was a plan they hatched while under the influence.

The security guards noted that they didn't seem to pose any threat, but it's against the rules, so they filed a criminal complaint with the police.

It sounds like a minor trespassing sort of thing, where they'll probably be fined . . . but there aren't any specifics on what they'll be hit with yet.

So now you know why we're asking the question:

"What famous place in Detroit (and surrounding area) would you like to have a sleepover in?" 

Here's a couple to start:

The Big House in Ann Arbor - If you're a Wolverine this is a must. Imagine sleeping on the 50 yard line with Hail To The Victors (lullaby version) gently playing on a loop. I might also hook up the PS5 and play some Madden on the scoreboard.

The Fox Theatre - pick out a great movie and watch it (I'm they have a pretty good AV department...lol). Admiring all the amazing architecture, maybe sleeping on stage in a giant bed.

The Rouge Plant - Okay, this is going to sound weird. But I love going there and watching the F-150's being built. The sound of it is calming (again, I know you think I'm weird). Spent the night in a Raptor that just rolled off the line...ahhhh, magical. You're judging me, aren't you?
