Huntington Place corporate-renaming jokes

The convention center at 1 Washington Blvd opened in 1960 as Cobo Hall and has undergone multiple corporate renamings, including Cobo Center, TCF Center, and Huntington Place (renamed in 2021). Detroiters and local columnists frequently make lighthearted comments and jokes about the venue's changing corporate names and how often it has been renamed. The pattern of renaming is a documented part of the building's recent history and a recurring subject of local humor.
