What it's known for
Ford Field incorporates a former Hudson’s department store warehouse along one side, and its skylights and glass walls let daylight into the dome. Suites and offices fill the old warehouse.
The Lions have hosted a game on Thanksgiving Day nearly every year since 1934, which makes Thanksgiving in Detroit one of the NFL’s oldest traditions.
Getting there
Ford Field is downtown, right next to Comerica Park and near Little Caesars Arena. It’s walkable from many downtown hotels, and the QLine streetcar runs along nearby Woodward Avenue.
Tips for your visit
- Being indoors, Ford Field is comfortable even in a Michigan winter.
- Eastern Market, a short ride away, is a famous pregame tailgate spot.
- Comerica Park is next door if you’re collecting ballparks too.
