The ever popular Dome Dribble drew lots of fans, both local and from out of town. Registration began at 12:30 outside Comerica Park and the line wrapped around the building with eager children waiting to get their free basketball and tshirt, courtesy of the NCAA and Wilson Sporting Goods.

The actual dribble started at the Brush and Adams street intersection in downtown Detroit, and ended at the Cobo Center, the site of NCAA Hoop City.

I  jumped in the middle of the dribble to talk with Erin Williams, mother of two kids, aged 5 and 9.

"My children could not wait for this," she said. "They woke up this morning and kept asking when they were going to get their basketball.  They play in our driveway all the time, they loved being able to dribble in the streets with lots of other people today. I think everyone had a great time and we are looking forward to seeing Hoop City."

The Inkstar High School marching band provided upbeat music to keep the participants going.
