More Than a Game

More than a Game dissects the wide world of sports, exploring the games, players, teams and stadiums that drive sports fans to distraction. The program includes an exhibit detailing the history and key players of Detroit's pro, college and high school teams; an exhibit on female athletes; interactive activities for adults and kids that promote physical health (Giant fitness dice! Score!); and a number of lectures by notable sports figures, scholars and commentators. This week's presentations include a talk by idolized MSU basketball coach Tom Izzo (Thursday, Sept. 17), a lecture on seeing opportunity in adversity (Friday, Sept. 18), an overview of the All American Girls' Professional Baseball League by former player Mary Moore (Saturday, Sept. 19), and a look at the building of Michigan Stadium (Sunday, Sept. 20). Events and exhibits take place through Nov. 22 at the Lorenzo Cultural Center, 44575 Garfield Rd., Clinton Twp.; 586-445-7348; for a complete schedule visit lorenzoculturalcenter.com.
