Olympia Stadium

Olympia Stadium is presumably some sort of sporting venue.

Fiction

Animated cartoon

When the Autobots set up their base in an old Sumdac Systems auto plant, they put a number of freeway signs up on the wall, including one indicating that the exit to Olympia Stadium was at Warren Avenue. Home Is Where the Spark Is

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.
• 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.
