位于密歇根州韦恩县的底特律市，Detroit一所天主教男子学校近日买下密歇根州博览会旧址的一部分土地。Detroit大学耶稣会高中及学院（University of Detroit Jesuit）购入博览会旧址沿Woodward Avenue（Woodward Avenue）的两块不相连地块，总面积16英亩，旧址位于该市八英里路（8 Mile Road）附近。
该校招收7至12年级学生，10月16日发表声明称，这笔购置体现了学校对本市、周边社区以及所服务青年的长期承诺，未来规划将与现有校区统筹考虑。学校现有校区位于剑桥大道8400号，另有约翰逊康乐中心位于奇佩瓦大道8550号，新购土地距两处均约3英里。校方发言人拒绝透露总成交价。

据《Detroit自由新闻》报道，出售方「Magic Plus」有限责任公司此前曾有退役篮球名宿埃尔文·「魔术师」约翰逊与马文·比蒂参与，约翰逊其后退出该公司。
U-D Jesuit Buys 16 Acres of Former Michigan State Fairgrounds in Detroit
Detroit is a city in Wayne County, Michigan. An all-boys Catholic school in Detroit has purchased part of the former Michigan State Fairgrounds along Woodward Avenue near 8 Mile Road. The University of Detroit Jesuit High School and Academy recently bought two noncontiguous parcels totaling 16 acres at the former fairgrounds. The private school, which serves grades 7 through 12, said in a statement issued Oct. 16 that the purchase reflects its longstanding commitment to the city, its neighborhood and the young men it serves, and that future plans will be guided by a comprehensive vision covering its existing campus at 8400 Cambridge Ave. and its Johnson Recreation Center at 8550 Chippewa Ave., both about three miles away. A school representative declined to disclose the total price. City records show the 11-acre parcel at 20200 Woodward changed hands for $2.5 million on July 1, and Crain's Detroit reported the five-acre parcel at 19950 Woodward sold last month for just over $1.5 million. The seller, an entity called Magic Plus, had ties to the estate of developer Joel Ferguson, a Michigan State University trustee who died in 2024 at age 85. The Michigan State Fair was held at the site from 1905 to 2009.
The Detroit Free Press reported that the seller, Magic Plus LLC, once counted retired basketball star Earvin "Magic" Johnson and Marvin Beatty among its partners; Johnson later exited the venture.
