I'm concerned about the safety of the Detroit Venue (mostly because of where the bulk of the hotels are located), but I'm sure we will all be ok. Proximity to food will be a bit of a challenge, but if we can make it through build season we can stop acting like babies.

The area between Cobo and Ford Field has become a lot safer over the past few years, and that trend is continuing. There are also many restaurants popping up and by the time the championship comes to Detroit, the M-1 Line should be done. That will make going to and from the two locations very easy.
