The biggest neighborhood in Detroit with a significant white population (known as Warrendale) has 14,000 whites out of a total 65,000 residents.

In recent years, more whites have been moving to the city, but not in terribly large numbers. It's pretty much a stereotype here that black people only live in Detroit and white people only live in the suburbs. It's not 100% true, but it's statistically accurate.
The 2010/11 Census at (Detroit (city) QuickFacts from the US Census Bureau)

Detroit: 706,585(2011)
White: 10.6%
Black: 82.7%

Detroit: 706,585(2011)
White: 74,898
Black: 584,345

Still, the point is that it's unlikely that those 10% of Detroiters would be the majority of those attending the games.
