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.
Linking to last reply:
Cobo is right next to Joe Louis Arena, Cobo is a HUGE place, probably enough to host the whole event, but if you do need the space, you can go to Joe Louis for some more space, which is linked by a walkway.

Off-topic: What exactly is next to the Georgia dome to hold all the "Extra" stuff?
