Detroit - Civic Center

 
Mariners' Church (1849), the oldest in the city, was moved to make room for the Civic Center with its extensive congress and conference facilities and exhibition halls. Among them is the Convention Arena which, with the Cobo Hall, forms one of the largest exhibition halls in the United States, with numerous conference rooms of all sizes. Immediately west of the Cobo Hall is the Joe Louis Arena; in front of it is a bronze statue of the Detroit-born boxer whose name it bears.
