DETROIT'S COBO CENTER CHANGING NAMES

By Shannon Walsh on 2019-02-21 08:43:00

Detroit, Michigan’s Cobo Center will have a name change this year.

Chemical Bank has bought the naming rights for the Center and the new name is expected to be TCF Center after a pending bank merger.  The original Cobo Center name comes from politician Albert Cobo who served as mayor from 1950 to 1957 with a reputation of racist and discriminatory policies.

The Cobo venues have had a rich history of hosting various pro wrestling events over several decades from Detroit’s Big Time Wrestling territory, to WCW and the WWF, and most recently the Detroit area indie group XICW.
