Member Review - D.J. Fluck of Stadium Scene

D.J. Fluck 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.

Learn more about the teams that play here and upcoming events on our team pages.
