Notes
- The real Olympia Stadium was the longtime home of the Detroit Red Wings. It was demolished in 1987, long before the setting of Transformers Animated, so where they got the sign is a mystery. Of course, there's also no Flushing Avenue in Detroit (the nearest one is in Canton, a suburb), and they have a sign for that on their wall too.
- There are also signs for Interstate 94 and U.S. Route 12, with an End banner beneath the latter, as U.S. 12 ends in downtown Detroit. U.S. 12 once passed Olympia Stadium until its route was changed; its current route passes by the site of Tiger Stadium, the inspiration for Tigatron Stadium.
- The real-life version of the sign was originally posted on westbound I-96 in the early 1970s. Since its removal, it has been stored inside Olympia's successor, Joe Louis Arena, and can be seen here.
