The Cobo Arena, once a premier sports and entertainment venue, will find new life in June as the Grand Ballroom, the region's newest banquet and event space. Equipped with a hydraulic lift stage for dramatic introductions, the arena will become a 40,000 square-foot ballroom, dividable with a retractable wall and complemented by glass-enclosed, pre-function space and an open-air terrace overlooking the Detroit River and the skyline of Windsor, Ontario. The new ballroom will have a 3600 theater seating capacity or 2,500 banquet seating.
