Sections
5
Capacity
65,000
Ford Field seats 65,000 fans across three main levels inside a climate-controlled dome. The fixed roof means weather is never a factor — every seat enjoys the same comfortable ~72°F environment regardless of Michigan's harsh winters outside. The stadium opened in 2002 with excellent sightlines throughout, incorporating the historic Hudson's Department Store warehouse wall as an architectural feature. The club level offers premium amenities, and the lower bowl delivers the loudest game-day atmosphere when the Lions are rolling.
