"I found Union Assembly to be a massive, 503-seat restaurant and event space run by the Union Joints group that sits across the street from the stadium and usually caters to Lions season-ticket holders who pop in before games and sometimes for a nightcap; during the recent playoff run it transformed from a typical wave of customers into what owner Curt Catallo described as “a tidal wave,” with staff saying it felt like Opening Day in January, the venue clearing more than 2,000 covers on January 21 as workers were brought in from other properties and additional parking had to be rented to handle the surge." - Serena Maria Daniels
