I can't even think of another location for MSC. You know it will be close to the east side though, there are just so many teams in the metro Detroit area. Usually it is better to keep the masses happy. Although somewhere in the Lansing (MSU, wink wink nod nod) area would be just fine by me.

There's a site here that lists all the stadiums and arenas in Michigan. Removing the outdoor venues and the small venues (below 7,000 seating capacity; Convocation Center is 8,800) leaves ten. Several probably wouldn't have the requisite pit space. There are some possibilities outside the list - convention centers, mostly - but you're right, there simply aren't many options.

Here are those ten:

Name			Location		Tenants			Capacity	
Pontiac Silverdome	Pontiac			Multi-use		80 311
Ford Field		Detroit			Detroit Lions		64 500
Palace of Auburn Hills	Auburn Hills		Detroit Pistons		22 076
Joe Louis Arena		Detroit			Detroit Red Wings	20 066
Breslin Center		East Lansing		Michigan State Spartans	14 992
Crisler Arena		Ann Arbor		Michigan Wolverines	13 609
Van Andel Arena		Grand Rapids		Grand Rapids Griffins	10 834
Calihan Hall		Detroit			Detroit Titans		8 837
Convocation Center	Ypsilanti		E. Michigan Eagles	8 824
Superior Dome		Marquette		N. Michigan Wildcats	8 000
