Member Review - D.J. Fluck of Stadium Scene

I attended a bowl game at Ford Field in 2007 so things may be different from the last time I visited.  The area of Detroit felt pretty safe and well patrolled by stadium security and police.  We parked in a lot near the people mover and walked over to the ballpark.  Both Comerica Park and Ford Field are right next to each other so you could park for both stadiums.

Stadium Information

About Ford Field:

Becoming a contributor to the revitalizing of downtown Detroit, Ford Field opened in 2002 with much fanfare. Unfortunately, the play of the Detroit Lions has not matched the quality of this facility. The facility was built around an old warehouse from the 1920s, giving the stadium a classic architectural feel.

Tour Info:

A variety of tour options are available. Please visit tour information.

Security Screenings:

All guests are subject to a screening using a wand upon entry.

Bag Policy:

Bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12" x 6" x 12." (Official NFL team logo clear plastic tote bags will be available through club merchandise outlets)One-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar)Small clutch bags, 4.5" x 6.5" x 2", with or without a handle or strap can be taken into the stadium with one of the clear plastic bags.

Note: Bag and security policy listed above are for typical sporting events. Special events, concerts, and other situations may result in variation to the policy. Please check event website for any changes or variation.

Parking & Transportation

Parking Options

There are at least ten lots near the stadium including an attached parking deck. Parking lots directly next to Ford Field prohibit tailgating, but there are various third party lots that do allow it.

We're setting up a partnership with a new parking company. Stay tuned for more details!

Bus Service:

Route 4 bus drop-off is right next to the stadium

Rail Service:

The People Mover has three stations within a half of a mile of Ford Field. The catch is that it's only useful if you're staying in downtown Detroit.

Taxi & Rideshare Service:

There are at least three taxi services available, but there is no set taxi stand for the stadium. When calling for pickup, be sure to let them know the gate where you would like to be picked up.
