Update: 12:55 p.m. Friday -- The city of Detroit early Friday had shut down three downtown parking lots after they indicated on a parking app that they planned to charge up to $1,000 per spot for the Detroit Lions game on Saturday.
But the Detroit News reports that Wayne County Circuit Judge David Allen conducted a hearing and reopened the lots after a lawyer for the lots said those exhorbitant fees were accidentally posted on the Spot Hero parking app as a place holder. The lots are now charging around $150 per space.

The city of Detroit on Friday ordered three downtown parking lots closed for allegedly charging up to $1,000 per parking spot for Saturday's playoff game between the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders, the Detroit News reports.
George Hunter of the News reports that police posted yellow stickers at the lots at 1468 Randolph, 401 Gratiot and 461 Gratiot, saying the operators' licenses were suspended after city officials learned they planned to charge between $900-$1,000 per parking spot during Saturday's night game.
"Our people looked online and saw that these three lots were charging far above the rate schedule they submitted to us, which was $10 to $100 per space," David Bell, director of the Detroit Buildings, Safety Engineering, and Environmental Department, told the News.
