I'm on my way down now. I always park in Fort Washington parking structure. It is across the street East of Cobo, the brown parking structure.

If you get there early (let's say 8:30ish or earlier), park under Cobo. You can access that lot off Washington Blvd. $10.

That's where we parked this morning. Left coats in the car and took the staircase up to the lobby.

I agree. I parked at Greektown Casino.

Parking is free in a large garage and the People Mover goes right by the Casino. .75 cents for a ticket to get on the train.

what a joke - parking was this year.
The two garages I've used in the past were closed for construction.

We drove around & around; no luck. Then Called Cobo and every place the lady suggested to us - we had already driven by and they were FULL.

And this was on one of the Industry Preview days. I can't imagine how FU'd it would be during public days.

We drove back in front of Cobo - and luck was with us that day... the underground garage (directly underneath Cobo) had changed from being a monthly-permit-only spot... to allowing anyone to park. It was great

I parked at the garage on the side of Cobo at first and congress. Was fine...tiny walk until you're in the doors of Cobo.
