  Cobo Hall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cobo Hall, officially Cobo Conference/Exhibition Center, is a convention center situated in downtown Detroit, Michigan, USA.
However, it is considered somewhat undersized for this purpose, and a variety of proposals are currently being floated for either expanding the hall's convention space (possibly by eliminating either Cobo Arena or Joe Louis Arena) or building an entirely new convention center.
Critics of these proposals note that that aside from the Auto Show, Cobo Hall is rarely filled to its capacity, and they argue that expanding or replacing the facility should thus not be a high priority for the city.
