Nice, indoor football stadium near downtown Detroit that hosts the Lions and other events. Plenty of parking is located nearby and there are attractions in the area too so it is in a good location. There are a lot of restaurants around so if you want to eat before or after going to the stadium, you will have plenty of choices in that regard. The walkability to and from the stadium is nice and it being surrounded by so many other options is a plus when you visit. Overall, it is a good venue.

Ford Field is an epic venue for football and other events. We have been here several times, and once last year during a game, it hit 135 dB! Crazy. The Lions are fun to watch and there are lots of good food choices (at NFL prices) and some history too. It's built into the old Hudson's warehouse which is pretty historic. There is plenty of parking in ramps or surface lots.

I took my nephew, a huge Lions fan, to the preseason game on August 16, 2025, and we had such a great time! The staff, both outside and inside the stadium, were extremely helpful — they guided us to our seats and even helped us find the food stands we were looking for. We enjoyed some pizza and snacks while watching the Lions battle it out on the field. The atmosphere inside Ford Field was absolutely electric, and it made the whole experience unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back for our next game. GO LIONS! 🦁 5/5 ⭐️

I love Ford Field! The roar from the crowd is heart pounding! I took a star away only because of pricing. The food was way too expensive! 1 slice of pizza was $12 and one slice of cheese cake was $15. I restroom were clean and plenty of supplies. I recommend this place 100 %. Just bring lots of money with you to spend 🤣

Great venue! The lines for merch and drinks moved efficiently, and there were plenty of drink options. Bathrooms were clean. The sound quality and visuals from the set were excellent. Overall, a great first experience!

Easy to get into, great food, atmosphere is electric! There is a lot to do outside the stadium and hotels are super close by. Best evening is when both lions and tigers are playing, family friendly block party.

Went there for a concert earlier this month and the stadium was great. Good seats even in the 200 section and enjoyed the show. Not a bad view at all! Restrooms could have been cleaner.

My first time at Ford Field. Here for the AC/DC concert (4/30/25). The staff, outside & in, were very helpful. Got me pointed to the correct gate, helped when the Ticketmaster app was being uncooperative sharing my legally purchased ticket with the standard check-in locations at the entry. Had to go handheld. I can assure you I will use a different way to get here in the future. Parking fees are exorbitant, almost usurious. I almost feel lucky to have only paid $50 at Lot 4 @ 3:30. Others within a couple of blocks were charging $85. That's criminal when it's only $9 earlier in the day. My ticket didn't cost that much! 🤬🤬🤬 At least the seats accommodate humans, unlike LCA with those torture chairs. I pulled a muscle contorting myself out of there. There really isn't any more legroom for my 6'5" self but at least I'm not in pain sitting here.

Ford Field is such a great place to experience a Lions game. It gets SO loud and the fans are always so excited. I've been there for several Lions games now and most recently for the last preseason game against the Steelers. The atmosphere was just as electric as it is during the regular season. I received an email before the game with arrival time info, which was helpful as we didn't want to miss kickoff. We had time to get food before we got to our seats, but prepare for delays especially if you're driving in the area. (Sidenote: One great thing about Ford Field/Detroit in general on game and event days is that they are so good about directing traffic, which really helps with congestion.) There are lots of options for food and beverages inside Ford Field, and even though it's not as shiny and new as other places, it's still clean and comfortable. I don't think there's really a bad seat in the arena and they offer standing room only tickets that are usually a bit cheaper. I'm so excited for this season - GO LIONS!!!!!!!

I'm a season ticket holder so I've been going to all the Lions games. I've also come here for other events over the years. I like Ford Field, but don't love it. It's a great venue, but it has a few flaws. Since the Lions sell out all the games now, it is a madhouse inside. You can barely move through the concourse to get around. And in a twist, the lines for the men's bathrooms are seriously OUT OF CONTROL. They are sometimes 75 deep, not kidding. That's on the 2nd level, 1st level is better. Not sure if they didn't plan for maximum capacity when they built it, but it is busting at the seams on game day. Food and drinks are of course overpriced, but there are plenty of options. Again, the lines can be pretty bad. So you either just go with it, or eat and drink before you get here. But you're there for 4 hours, so eventually you break down and buy something. I love the 'drink of the game' on gameday, so you know I'm always getting one of those. Getting in has been smoother this year it seems, they move you along pretty quickly with not a lot of waiting outside. Seats are comfortable, I'm in section 240, I'm happy with my view even if it's not a sideline seat or club seats. I couldn't afford them anyways. Parking is a nightmare. You can pre buy your parking on Parkwhiz or take your chances driving around looking for something. NOT recommended. You'll pay more and be farther away. Expect to pay anywhere from $25 - $100 (as you get closer). So - wear good shoes because you'll be walking pretty far. I can't compare to other urban stadiums, but I enjoy coming here for the games.

I have been here for wonderful football games. Really good stadium, and lot of great food options. Could have some more vegan options. I do like that the security here is really good, they really keep the audience under control. You can feel very safe attending an event here.

Seamless game day experience at Ford Field! SUCH a great place for football. My brother and I arrived at about 11:15 for a 1pm game, and had barely a line to get in despite being a sellout game. We perused the lower level, and then made our way down to the field as we had pregame sideline field access. Security for that was super simple since we had passes, and we were able to hang on the field until about 12:30 when we were escorted off. We each got food from a different stall (I got HonCho - it was solid for stadium food), and easily met up and ate at a hightop before heading to our seats. We didn't leave our seats for the entire game and had a ton of fun. The halftime show was awesome, the stadium was pretty clean (even the bathrooms), and the Lions won!

Parking is expensive but the facility is very nice and there are plenty of restrooms. We went downtown on a Sunday afternoon for monster jam, and it was a blast and you could tell the employees worked their tails off

Great time at the Lions game tonight! Great seats from StubHub. I appreciated the email from the Lions organization that was sent to me ahead of time, recommending coming early to avoid long wait times. The game stated at 8:15pm. I arrived at 7pm and it was easy breezy. Plenty of entrances and security moves quickly. You'll need to bring a clear bag for your belongings, no larger than 12x6x12. Very nice stadium. It's huge, but every seat seems like a great seat. Lots of fun entertainment in between quarters and time outs. There is such a fun vibe and a lot of energy. Bathrooms are plentiful and clean, and lots of food and beverage options. Many parking options around downtown. Downtown is very walkable so I recommend parking further way to save money and enjoy the walk Go Lions!

Been here twice now. Last time was 18 or so years ago when it first opened. Such a cool venue. This place still feels brand new. Went to the Quick Lane Bowl game on day after Christmas. We had a blast. Beer prices were crazy but I expected that. Overall a very classy stadium.

I'm here at the Detroit Supercross 2024 and have a few observations to share. The vibe is always cool. I've been here many times in regular seats and in their suites. People who work the events ways seem to be happy and courteous. Food and drinks are absurdly over priced. Good quality but very expensive. I don't know how families can affotd professional events any more. The layout is easy to find your way around. Signs are everywhere. Seats are the usual baseball stadium style. Cramped even for a small person. Suite seats are the way to go if you're lucky enough to score some. Climate control is decent for motorccyles indoors. Air quality can be a bit smoggy after the bikes have been running a while which could pose issues for anyone sensitive to smoggy air. Sound system is much better than some of the more aged facilities still around. Restrooms are the usual public facilities, needing to be tidied up a bit more because well, let's face it, people are slobs. Parking in the general are is plenty but plan on forking out around $65 or more if you want to park in the closer lots. Use the parking app called Park Whiz which has excellent customer service and a great cancellation policy. Add some time to account for downtown traffic on the side streets in Detroit. Most of all, preare to enjoy the venue and the events at Ford Field!

A premier sports & entertainment stadium in Downtown Detroit. Best parking can be found within a 5-15 minute walk from the Stadium. Home of the Detroit Lions. Goooo Lions!

Rams vs Lions wildcard game was one for the ages! My son and I were sat next to some awesome, fun, wild season ticket holders. We had a bunch of Rams fans behind us and the whole game was a blast, albeit a bit "butt clenching" towards the end! I will never forget the joy my son had when we won and were walking back to the car. We are looking forward to Monster Jam next weekend! Great venue. Not a bad seat in the entire place.

As far as large stadium/venues go, Ford Field is pretty great. Not really a bad seat in the house. Plenty of refreshment stands to supply your drinks and eats. In some cases, they have limited selection self checkout lines that move things along pretty quickly. If I were to strike one thing, it would be parking. Unfortunately though, this is due to geographic location and not really the fault of Ford Field. Whereas there is plenty of parking, ALWAYS be prepared for a very slow crawl to get out of downtown Detroit and getting home. You're pretty good once you get out and hit the highway, but up to that point, it's painful. Parking notes - The closer you park the the stadium, the longer it'll take to get away from it. Hit the bathroom before you leave. You will be in the car for a while. So when your significant other says, "I'll just go when I get home", shove them into the nearest bathroom before you leave. Would I go back? Yes. I'm not a Michigan native, but it is convenient and sometimes the only option for a concert or event that I want to go to. It's a nice venue and well kept up.

I was here for the lions playoffs watch party. I had a TON of fun with all the excitement and give always. Lots of food options and drinks. I have never been here for a football game or concert so can't say much to that but overall amazing experience. Bathrooms stayed very clean given how many people were there. Staff were friendly and accommodating.

Well, another NFL stadium to check off the list. This one in the motor city known as Ford Field in downtown Detroit where the Lions matched up against the Dolphins before Halloween. Say what you want about the team; yes the Lions are lovable losers and fans have pretty much given up hope with all their poor performances, bad coaching, and incompetent front offices. However this new regime led by GM Brad Holmes and HC Dan Campbell are doing what they can to right the ship and it seems to catch on as the fanbase was quite loud, supportive, and enthusiastic about this version of the Lions. And I was impressed with their performance in the 1st half as they got the win..... if the game had ended after the 1st half. 2nd half was more about the Dolphins and their entertaining offense of Tua Fast Tua Furious making a comeback and snatching the win. Ahh, enough about the game recap; the stadium itself. Well it's quite clean, pleasant spacing, and plenty of leg room with the seats (a welcome aspect considering my tightness at Little Caesars Arena). Restrooms were clean for an NFL game, something we take for granted but should appreciate. That's for the men's restrooms; the women's restrooms looked clean as well although I saw a woman come out with her hands held in the air palms down with a disgusted look on her face. Biohazard coming through? (Shrug). Also lots of concessions and drink areas for people to get their grub and thirst on. Beer is priced a bit cheaper than other stadiums which is probably a good thing since the Lions over the years have turned fans into alcoholics. Our seats were Section 128, Row 28; priced around $260 a piece; a hefty price for a hosting team with a losing record (maybe I was inebriated upon purchasing them) but nevertheless, I enjoyed the game day experience with my pops. I wouldn't mind attending a game or event here again; maybe the Lions will be a playoff contender by then. Look out for the Lions, they are on their way up!

We flew in from NY for the Metallica concert on 11/12. It was my first time in Detroit. This stadium is very nice, clean, well lit, plenty of concessions and bathrooms. We rotated between the 'Snake Pit' and the friends and family room which was housed in the Miller Tap suite on level 5 with a private bar and ample seating. I may be swayed because we got the VIP treatment but I have been to a lot of concerts and stadiums and this one is run well. I liked that you can order drinks via walk through concessions and my slice of Little Cesar's pizza was really good. I would return to this venue for any event.

My 1st.concert at this venue. Ed Scheeran - with a special guest appearance by Eminem. Had seats on 50 yard line - good sight lines and decent acoustics. Suprised at how easy it was to enter stadium and how many more self serve places available for adult beverages and snacks. Sure helps keep the longlines down. A quite decent show!

I am a bit behind writing this review...Came for The Rolling Stones concert. Given this is a review of Ford Field, and not the concert... I give it three stars. If it were for the concert I'd give it five. Mick Jagger sure has moves at his age! However, reviewing the venue... I really wish they had required people to wear a mask. Hopefully this didn't turn into a super spreader event. I wore my mask the entire time, but very few people did. What else can you say about a venue like this? They've got bathrooms, and overpriced food, just like you'd find it any other similar venue.

Came here when the Bills were in town for Thanksgiving. The stadium was solid, but nothing spectacular. My biggest issue with the stadium was the signage for finding your way around the stadium. When we came into the stadium, we followed the signs to find our seats, and ended up walking 3/4 of the way around the stadium to get there. The one sideline in the upper deck seems to have a lot of box seats, so they must be trying to keep the rest of the fans away from that area. Other than this issue, the stadium was fine, nothing spectacular. Not opposed to returning if my team plays here again, especially now that I know not to follow the signs.

I did not know Ford Field was indoors until I came here for a concert! Lol but kudos to Detroit for the indoor football stadium because it definitely came in handy when I went to see a concert this summer. It was storming outside, but I stayed nice and dry. The stadium itself is easy to navigate and it was clean. I had a great experience here and I would come back in the future!

Atmosphere was amazing at the Lions game. All people are nice, welcoming and friendly! Food was pretty good as for a stadium, the stand with roasted almonds was our absolute favorite! Everything was organized on a very good level! There are employees everywhere, but you feel comfortable. I love how there was no trash thrown on the floor not only inside of the stadium, but also outside, around it. We noticed it as we were leaving. That tell a lot about how people have respect for one another and the city where they live. And it was nice to see friendliness and good vibes at the stadium in general.

Stadium itself isn't bad. Customer service is extremely rude and leaves a lot to be desired. We simply asked for directions to our seats. The first person we went to told us the wrong floor. I can understand if there was a misunderstanding im not mad we were told to go to the wrong place. But what followed next is where the big problem occured. So we went to the 4th floor on the elevators and as we found out that wasn't where we were supposed to be. The 2 women. One with a heavy Hispanic accents and a short older white lady got extremely loud and angry about us being there. We told them this is where we were told and they just kept saying we were in the wrong place not telling us where we could go. After like the 3rd time of asking them how we can get where we needed to go they finally stopped angrily saying we were in the wrong place and answered the question, with attitude though. But they apparently were not ready to drop whatever beef this caused with them. As we went to the stairs to go back down they followed us. Essentially abandoning their post to continue their attitude about us being in the wrong place. Maybe if the staff was more knowledgeable about their own facility this would have been avoided in the first place but those 2 women have no business being customer facing. Taking some oddly placed frustration out on us when we were told wrong directions by one of their coworkers

Okay. Hang on I need too wipe my feet off. I just left that state up north. That's better. This is a nice place to go. I went to watch a pro football game. The people were nice to me. The place was clean. The Lina moved quickly. I would go back. I hope my team win's next time.

I don't quite know how/where to review the VIP tailgate party so I'm going to do it here. To be honest I almost hesitate to review it because I don't want it to get too crowded! We have been coming to the Lions games together for many years. We have had season tickets and have jumped around the city experiencing new things before and after the game. Well today I was excited to try the Bullseye entertainment VIP tailgate party. Located in the old pump social building this place is enormous and super fun. I was surprised pump social closed as it was always a go to for us if everyone was too crowded. The tickets were $80 each and $99 if you wanted game tickets. The tickets were for upper level. This included all you can eat and drink!! Like seriously! You can't beat that! Doors open at 10 and you better get out at 1 or they are going to kick you out. Lol. We had an absolute blast! Parking is next door and is $30. Not bad. Ford field is only a few blocks away. They had the darts and pool tables open. No bowling though. There was a dj who played a ton of music that we enjoyed. They had just about everything drink wise. I started the morning off with a mimosa then switched over to apple crown and Vernors. He had jack and diet. I ended up noticing that they had dirty blonde so switched to that or I would be dead by now. Lol. The drinks were all high quality liquor and very generous pours. You can't get shots because people couldn't handle them. So we got shots on the rocks lol. Make sure you bring cash because these bartenders deserve fat tips! The food was set up in two different rooms. There was a huge variety and it was all you can eat. Like seriously! It was amazing. We met some incredible people and we really had an incredible time there. We will likely be back for the last home game of the season and we are hoping that they do this for the Tigers game. I mean what a fun time!!!

I am a Detroit Lions fan from Honolulu. And though I live all across the Pacific, I try not to miss a single Detroit Lions preseason and regular season game. I do my best to stream all of the Detroit Lions games on the NFL app as not every Detroit Lions game gets televised in my region. I don't want to miss a single Detroit Lions game if I can help it. I appreciate the fact that Ford Field's Detroit Lions store the Stadium Collection carries great Detroit Lions gear and sports memorabilia for Detroit Lions fans. They even carry the Detroit Lions Starter "Locker Room Throwback: Post Season" varsity jacket in deep Honolulu Blue and Silver. What? I love it! It is a "must have" Detroit Lions Starter jacket! It's phenomenal and I give Ford Field a five star rating out of five stars I also love the Detroit Lions x SMPLFD limited edition release by Ford Field's the Stadium Collection. My friends gifted me Detroit Lions gear from the Detroit Lions x SMPLFD limited release from the Stadium Collection. I also order Detroit Lions game gear from the official Detroit Lions store at DetroitLions.com Thank you Detroit Lions, Ford Field and the Stadium Collection for carrying and bringing out great Detroit Lions gear for Detroit Lions fan needs. I love the Detroit Lions !!!! Detroit Lions for the win, Jason Detroit Lions fan from Honolulu

I have only ever been to Ford Field for a football game so my review will be based on this venue as a football arena. Ok, just so we are clear I'm not rating the Lions team themselves or their ability (or inability) to win a game... I'm afraid my rating would be much lower! The area approaching the stadium is safe and clean and tons of fun in game day. Lots of tailgating, music and enthusiasm is in the air. The parking is plentiful and I think the local economy gets a boost because people come down early and hang out afterwards. The one drawback is the line to get in. They do have multiple entry points which is super helpful but the process of electronic tickets and someone who isn't smart phone savvy aren't a good mixture for crowds. Once inside it's clean and the staff are friendly in my experience. There are plenty of bathrooms and they are also clean. Concession stand lines move quickly and the food is average stadium food, one area they could improve on, imo. I've sat in both the lower level and the upper level and don't really think there's a terrible seat in the stadium. I will say concession vendors don't appear to frequent the upper level very much. All in all, it's a fun day. I'd say it's a family friendly venue but do keep in mind that sometimes alcohol and a losing home team don't mix. But I have never really seen it become a problem. And like most Lions fans I still hold out hope that some day we will actually have a winning team....

Nosebleed seats don't seem as steep as other stadiums which definitely is a super plus. Many many food spots. Management didn't plan for the sellout crowd at a playoff game as many stalls in the ladies room ran out of toilet tissue which wasn't replenished. Fans were friendly to the opposing team.

It's so awesome to have all of our sports teams back in the city. I've been here quite a few times for concerts and to watch our Detroit Lions. Ford Field is in a great location with accessibility to parking and close to the freeway. Walking in the doors of this stadium, you can feel the energy of the city! One thing for sure, you don't have to worry about being hungry. There are plenty of food concession around the arena. I enjoy hanging out in the beer garden. I'm super excited to cheer on our Lions this year and it feels so good to finally be back!

My brother has been asking me for 15 years to go to a Lions Thanksgiving Day game and I finally gave in and said yes. Parking is ample in paid lots around Ford Field ranging from $10 -$65 and can be reserved on numerous parking apps. They have a "No Bag" policy so check online before you go to see what you can or cannot bring in. Here's my pros and cons on the Ford Field experience: Pros: Unobstructed field view. Enclosed and heated environment. Lots of concessions and restrooms that appeared clean and had varied wait times. Beer/Pop vendors frequented the stands so you didn't have to leave your seat and miss the game to get a beverage. Sound system was good along with large screens for viewing. Numerous water fountains so you don't have to pay $5 for a water. Cons: Security screening on entrance is an unorganized mess. Staff not giving directions, not being helpful, not friendly and people cutting in line. This disorder caused us to miss kickoff and the first 4 minutes (and yes we were trying to get in way before kickoff). They ran out of the commemorative towel give-a-way. It appeared only 1/3 of the fans had them. The half time show had a power issue. They played one song and faced the home side. Boring. Over-served and intoxicated fans. Falling down stairs, yelling at fans of the opposing teams, spilling beers etc. Narrow plastic seats (still more room then the LCA) but not by much and uncomfortable unless you are skinny and short. They block off escalators for the "Club level" fans only use because other fans obviously didn't pay enough for their tickets. High priced concessions with some low quality food. The deciding factor for the average rating was the ticket price. We payed just south of $300 (including fees) for two seats, corner end zone, 10 rows from the top. A family of 4 would have to spend close to $800 for seats/food/beverage/parking to watch the Lions lose in that section. So, I can say I've been to Ford Field and won't be back for another 15 years unless the prices go down or the Lions win record goes up.

Great venue. Had to wait over 25 minutes in line to enter. Ford Field figure out a solution to your entrance problem. I understand tickets are scanned now & security is a necessity, however a better system is a must.

I had a great time at a great game! (GO LIONS!) The pizza is always amazing and the almonds were delicious.... however, pay attention to how much the beer vendor is charging if you don't buy it at the regular stands. I was double charged at my seat. Bought 2 from a guy selling at the bottom of the stairs for $21, but the guy charged me $41 for the same size beers! I asked for the credit card machine to leave a tip and he said no and kept walking up the stairs... so I checked my account right away. Be careful and ask for your total before handing over your card at this cashless venue.

I'm a huge Lions fan, and we've been to this stadium a couple times. We did the tour they do the day after games for like $10 per person, and learned a lot of cool stuff about it, too. One nice thing about it is that sections 100, 200 and 300 are all the same distance away from the field. Most stadiums expand out, so section 300 is up higher and it's further away. At Ford Field, the sections are pretty much straight up and down vertically. Last season we went to the Sunday night game against the Steelers, and we paid A LOT of money for Club seats. My husband is very tall, so I was ok with spending the extra so we'd be more comfortable. If you google it, sections 226 to 235 are supposed to be Club. Well, section 226 DOES NOT HAVE CLUB LEVEL SEATS!!! We were SO disappointed!!! Section 227 has the nice cushioned larger seats, but 226 has the same dumb tiny hard ones. We were squished and uncomfortable. Such a waste of money!!! :( I didn't walk over to look, but I assume it's the same on the other side, so 235 is not actual Club seats, but 234 is. They are still technically "Club level" seats, so we did get to enter the venue at the Club/Suite entrance, so at least that part worked. There was a twitter contest, so I tweeted a picture of myself as soon as we got in, and I won sideline passes! So, we got to do that, which was a really cool experience, but I didn't eat or drink anything I was planning on because we were on the field until kickoff. The lines in the Club area didn't seem any shorter than the others, and they were actually so long by the time we were headed to our seats that I didn't even eat anything. The bathrooms also didn't look any nicer. I'd say the only reasons to buy Club seats are for the bigger, nicer seats, and the separate entrance. Just make sure you book a section that actually has the nicer seats! All that being said, Ford Field is a nice venue. The new tv's are great, and the bathrooms are even nice, considering they're stadium bathrooms. We were staying at Greektown and walked back after the game. We felt safe, even though it was like midnight. However, it was hard to find restaurants open that late on Sunday night. Ford Field made an announcement that a couple places were staying open after the game, and we wanted to go, but couldn't find them. We asked 3 people working there, and none of them could tell us where to go either. It was a bummer because I really wanted a Pepsi in an overpriced Lions cup (yes, seriously), but I didn't have a chance to get one.

I was trying to shoot the shi* with a fellow lions fan. Next thing I knew I was being escorted out becuase I was "vaping". I asked to just take my vape away. But that wasn't the issue. It was quickly made aware that this was a racial issue. The employees couldn't do anything becuase they were instructed to remove me simply because of reverse racism. They were scared "not to act"​. It never ends

This is a really cool stadium. Came here for work and got a behind the scenes tour of the facility. Started in the locker room and went practically all over the stadium. Pretty cool history of the stadium. The other thing is that the stadium has a feeling that you are outdoors but you are in a dome. All of the people working there are great and very accommodating. Just a great overall experience. Would really enjoy coming here for an actual game.

I've visited all NFC north fields. This currently ranks 2. It has solid food options, and the stadium has a good vibe as you walk around the concourse. Solid stadium.

I love coming here for a real good football game. It's great to have our football stadium and baseball stadium right next to each other and just a few blocks North we have our Red Wings Stadium! All three real close. The last couple of times of us coming here for a game we have no issues, people are always friendly and courteous. People seem to know where they're going and getting there. As far as our seating sections, I like sitting on the visitor's side of the field. You get to see the other teams. We sat near the 40 yard line, we were 8 rows back right at the end seats! Great seats! We are seriously thinking about getting a few season tickets! It's great to be around all the different fans, great food, and lots of fun! The stadium is easy to get around and there's plenty of staff and security to make sure you get from point A to point B!

Good experience. I got there by ride share service due to traffic near the stadium. Had them drop me off two blocks or so away and walked to the entrance. Don't bring your purse! Clear bags only etc. Grateful a truck was available to check my bag so I could pick it up later. The bag pickup line was long after the game but not unbearable. It was very organized. I hadn't had Hungry Howies pizza in years! Glad the concession stand had individual screens to place orders and accept electronic payment. This certainly made the process faster with the long line and all. Overall the fans were super-charged, everything was clean, and the food and tickets were reasonably priced! Can't say the same for prices for football games at my local stadium (AT&T).

Huge failure on the part of the lions and the city of Detroit. Poor traffic control awfully slow security screening and poor communication and coordination between security and traffic control. Utter joke! Absolutely awful when two teams play or two events on the same day. Just shows how Detroit was in peril for so many years because they couldn't manage a city. Now they have people all over downtown and they flub that up too. Things will never change.

Thanks to the developers and planners of Ford Field for providing patrons so many bathrooms! I never had to go in search of a toilet when my small children suddenly proclaimed they had to pee NOW. Nor did I ever have to wait in notorious women's lines. Seriously, that was genius. The event we went to also had an awesome happy hour and we were able to order $3 well drinks. The bartender at the Wynnbet sports bar was so nice and accommodating. The other highlight was the nachos at Honchos. We used to live near the flagship location when they opened and missed the cuisine. I was a little sad the menu at this Honchos was so small, but upon ordering my nachos with pulled pork and walking back to my seat one section away, I was assaulted by other event goers asking where the nachos came from because they looked so good. And they tasted just as delicious! $11 was a bit steep but the portion size was huge and I was incredibly happy with them. It was a fun event, but cheap drinks and delicious food helped make it more enjoyable for my husband and I, not just our kids.

What an awesome football stadium! It's huge, clean and has so many food/drink stands. The seats are also hella comfortable! Lions fans are lucky to have this space with great amenities and convenience to downtown.
