Ford field is a fantastic venue. Very new, huge stands.

Cobo Hall is probably most famous for hosting the NAIAS (North American International Auto Show) every year. It is a huge convention center.

There is a monorail station right inside the upper floor of Cobo, and there is a station a couple blocks from Ford field.

That area of downtown Detroit can be hit or miss. Just like any big city, there are good and bad parts.

I can't comment on hotels, but google shows a whole bunch around there.

Weather will probably be okay, normally no snow mid-April.

The airport is a twenty minute drive from Cobo and Ford Field.
