Detroit Lions at Ford Field
Motor City residents come out in droves to rep their team! Fans who come out to Ford Field, one of the NFL's most unique stadiums, are in for a special treat. The home of the Detroit Lions consists of approximately 1.85 million square feet with four levels of suites, a level of club seating, and a ground level designated for concessions and retail. Ford Field claims the best sight lines of any football stadium in the United States, made available by a design that omits the traditional club and suite levels, thereby lowering the upper level. There are a total of 65,000 seats.
In 2017, the Detroit Lions announced a $100 million investment into stadium renovations. Updates to The New Ford Field included a complete overhaul of Ford Field's audio/visual guest experience with new video boards to ensure easy viewing for fans in all corners of the stadium, an upgraded sound system, as well as renovated stadium suites and premium club areas.

Detroit Lions Team History
The Detroit Lions haven't always been the Lions. In 1934, George A. Richards, a radio executive, purchased the Spartans, a team from Portsmouth, Ohio. After the $8,000 purchase (a huge sum at that time) he moved the team to Detroit. In only their second year as the Detroit Lions, the team won the NFL championship while playing at the University of Detroit Stadium in 1935.
The team continued to grow and improve until the 1950s, when it enjoyed some of the most successful seasons in its history with championships in 1952, 1953, 1957. From its title win in 1957 until the NFC Central Division Championship win in 1983, the team was rebuilding. Divisional titles came again in 1991 and 1993. Detroit Lions fans are diehard and show up to make Ford Field one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL.
