Cobo could defiantly use some renovations and maybe an expansion, but of course the auto show people want it expanded. That doesn't mean they have to have it or they'll leave, even if they say that.

I think a more important issue for attracting conventions is the lack of a transit link to the airport. There is no rail and no express bus to the airport. This could be easily fixed with at the bare minimum an express bus that runs from Downtown to the airport along I-94.

How can we expect to have very many conventions if people can't even get from the airport to the city? Not everyone can afford or wants to rent a car. Taxis are grossly expensive. Why can't there be a 2.00 bus ride?

A transit link from the airport to Downtown should be included in any regional plan to expand the convention center.
