Just to help clarify things, EZ-UPS or tents of any kind are not permitted on the show field but are allowed in the swap area, personal umbrellas are allowed. The decision was made to have everything at the host hotel, Sheraton Novi, by a group of AMO Officers for a variety of reasons, there was no cost to the chapter or AMO for the use of the parking lots or the surrounding areas, Hotel offers the opportunity to go inside to A/C and/or get out of the rain,and access to your hotel room, Greenmeade Park did not have this option, just an open field,a blacktop pad and no shade.The hotel has agreed to offer refreshments and food during the show ($$$) Friday and Saturday, one food truck was set up for the park, Hotel has committed a Hospitality Room to show goers just inside from the show field area for an area to grab a drink and sit/rest in a cool area.The hotel also offers multiple restroom facilities indoors, Greenmeade could only offer a few portapots. There would be a short drive to Greenmeade in a busy area, staying at the hotel allows participants the opportunity to not travel, one place allows all the items needed to all show goers. In short, the decision was made with the consideration of the health and safety, as well, as comfort to all those attending. 

I also like the idea of keeping it in the one spot. Much easier for vendors also!
