For the first time in three decades, the North American International Auto Show was scheduled to take place in the summer. But as of Saturday, the globally beloved, annual Motor City event has been canceled. Instead, as we speak, the TCF Center is being turned into a field hospital site. FEMA selected the TCF Center - formerly known as Cobo Hall or Cobo Center - a day after the U.S. attorney general declared Detroit a "hot spot" for COVID-19.

Sunday, we learned that the facility will take up two floors and house at least 900 beds. MORE ►Detroit's FEMA field hospital site will be 2 floors, include 900 beds ►Michigan state rep.
