Also, Detroit is no longer seen as the most prominent US show. Hence why other car manufactures have stopped going there.

I was not going by size as in physical size, as in prominence. The auto show totem pole goes like this: Detroit, LA, then Chicago.

The first auto show occurred in Detroit in 1907 at Beller's Beer Garden at Riverside Park and was held there every year except 1943-1952. It was renamed the North American International Auto Show in 1989. Since 1961, it has been held at Cobo Center where it occupies 1 million square feet (93,000 m²) of floor space. The show is particularly important because the Metro Detroit area is the location of the headquarters of the Big Three American automakers, Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors.
The NAIAS was long the only auto show in the United States sanctioned by the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles, however since 2006 the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show was recognized and, starting in 2007, the Chicago Auto Show was as well.

Sorry, I know you are proud of chicago and all but the chicago show is nowhere near the status of Detroit. It isn't even near LA. It is a nice little show for people in Illinois
