Since the other LC planning thread did not bear any fruit and John has found something else, I figured it was time to make a new thread.
Straight from John, and verified by Miles, Devil, and the other Michigan people who were in on the conversation - NL4 is being planned for the old Kmart Headquarters in Troy, date to be determined.
I did not think of this originally since I did not know if it would have enough space for a LC-scale game, having been there for the Red Dawn remake, but it would be a bomb ass place to conduct CQB. Like NL3, this is still preliminary and nothing is final until the paper is signed, but I'm optimistic - the property has sat around unused for years, save Red Dawn - Sears might as well monetize it right?

Pretty sure that's the spot, yes. Though I may be moving out of the state next year, the best part about this is that if it's held soon... I could walk there from my parents' house if I really wanted to.

EDIT: Yeah the old K-Mart HQ is located at Big Beaver & Coolidge. There's definitely enough parking space for people to park. As for camping that would be questionable unless people want to pitch tents on concrete.... To my knowledge, K-marts distribution center (or at least one of them) is/was over in Plymouth off of Haggerty between Plymouth and Joy, but I'm not sure if that's still operational and it definitely wouldn't be that if he said K-Mart HQ. Regardless I hope this is true considering I live two minutes from there... I too could walk there seeing I live at N. Adams and Big Beaver. Would certainly save me on a drive....

While I am very hopeful this will occur I have my doubts that the prudes that run the city of Troy will allow this happen. This is right across the street from Somerset Mall. I would say any type of camping would for sure be out of the question. If all replicas are concealed going in maybe there is nothing they can say about it....I hope.

The parking lot is in the back, out of sight of Somerset, and they filmed an action movie there with a tank, guns, and everything, so I'm not too worried about that.

It has been verified. But, Jon still needs the owners to finalize and sign off. Psy, start an AAR thread, I'm too tired to do anything.

The only problem John said he had was planning the game before the demolition scheduled for the building. He was pretty assuring when telling us he wanted to have it there though.
It's not the facility in troy, It the facility in Trenton that was down a little ways from the AO of NL3.

I don't have pictures, all he said is that he was excited to let us know that he is "trying" to get the Kmart facility back in Trenton. It's some type of cooperate building or warehouse type deal. I remember seeing it on the way to the AI of NIL3 and telling Miles that it would be an awesome place to run an event, and he is in the works to getting it. The place is HUGE.

There are still people in the K-Mart building in Troy... I know that their NOC is still running; they were giving us advice on building ours out a few months ago.
