TCF Center / Cobo Hall (site of major auto shows and large events)

The convention center at 1 Washington Boulevard, long known as Cobo Hall and later as TCF Center, has hosted the North American International Auto Show and numerous large events that produce widely shared images of cars, exhibits, and crowded show floors. Photos from auto shows and conventions at the center are frequently edited and circulated in social-media posts and memes about the auto industry, Detroit events, and large-scale gatherings. The facility remains a major downtown convention venue.
