And yes, Youmacon gets a ton of people: nothing in comparison to Otakon, of course, but we did recieve over 9000 people last year.
Plus, it's not paid any attention to(its like, in the lowest, deepest corner of the building), but there is a mini-police hub INSIDE the Ren Cen, and like Genten said, it's one of the central locations in downtown Detroit, so it is patrolled through regularly.

And was it really 9000 people (O.o)? I thought they said it was close to 3000. Maybe that was the previous year =0\.
