Detroit Roller Derby Gets Ready for Rival Teams in Showdown

From Detroit Roller Derby: Season Twelve for Detroit Roller Derby is now underway and more hard hitting action is headed your way. The undefeated Grand Prix Madonnas will face off against the Devils Night Dames at the Masonic Temple on Saturday, January 14th. Both teams have put in long hours training for this show down.

The skaters will be surrounded by super heroes or at least fans dressed up as one. The theme for the game is "heroes versus villains." They'll be neat back drops so that you can take pictures of your costume and share it on social media. An award will also be handed out to the best outfit of the night so dust off your cape and get to the drill hall.

Detroit's own Five Pound Snap is taking time out of their hectic schedule to perform live at the game. They are described as a four piece space groove band and are known for putting on quite the show.

Doors for the January 14th single header bout open at 5 p. m. The whistle will blow at 6 p.m. Tickets are now available here. They are $12 in advance and $15 at the door the day of the game. Children 12 and under get in free with a paying adult.

The Masonic Temple is located at 500 Temple Street in Detroit. It is the largest building of its kind in the entire world.
