Hotels???
Three words (NOT A PROBLEM)
Except that they aren't within walking distance of Ford Field.

What Else Do You Need???
Pits? The convention center (Cobo) is more than a mile away from the stadium. And there's no space at Ford. The Rolling Stones' set for Superbowl halftime had to be set up across the street at Comerica, outside, and pushed into the field. If they don't have staging room for stage parts, they certainly don't have room for pits.

As another poster stated, you need a full-size arena next to a convention center for FIRST to work. Indianapolis was another location suggested earlier in this thread.
