The home of the Detroit Lions is Ford Field. The field was constructed for the 2002 season. This marks the first time since before moving to the Silverdome in 1975 that the Lions actually played their home games in the city of Detroit and not in Pontiac, which is a surrounding suburb of the metropolitan area. Shortly after opening up the stadium the National Football League announced that Ford Field would be the site of the 2006 Super Bowl which would be Super Bowl XL.

When attending a Detroit Lions football game the average fan is subjected to more than just a football game. The park features a number of areas that hoping to enhance the “fan experience.” The first is the Comcast Family Fun Zone. The Family Fun Zone provides a safe haven for football fans that want to bring their children to football games and not have to worry about rowdy and rude football fans. Within the Zone the sale and consumption of alcohol are prohibited in addition to the use of profanity. Another feature of the stadium is the Ah! Mooré coffee and specialty shop. The shop showcases a wide variety of drinks with a full selection of coffee and espresso flavors, in addition to a full menu of sandwiches, baked goods and soups. The stadium also features a cup holder in every single seat of the stadium and also boasts to have the “best sightlines in the NFL” because of a design that leaves out the traditional club and suite levels therefore lowering the upper level.
