The signs are part of a beautification effort for the city ahead of the draft April, which is expected to bring in more than 300,000 people over the court of a weekend.

They were created by Fairmount Sign Company, and the letters are 8 feet tall and will be mounted on two-foot tall blocks.

Smaller signs will also be located along I-75 at 8 Mile, I-96 at Telegraph, I-94 at Moross, Southfield at 8 Mile and Southfield at Ford Rd.
