}}

Ford Field is a domed American football stadium located in Downtown Detroit. It primarily serves as the home of the Detroit Lions of the National Football League (NFL), the Michigan Panthers of the United Football League (UFL), the Mid-American Conference championship game, and the annual GameAbove Sports Bowl college football bowl game, state championship football games for the MHSAA, the MHSAA State Wrestling Championships, and the MCBA Marching Band State Finals, among other events. The regular seating capacity is approximately 65,000, though it is expandable up to 70,000 for football and 80,000 for basketball.

The naming rights were purchased by the Ford Motor Company for $40 million over 20 years; the Ford family holds a controlling interest in the company, and they have controlled ownership of the Lions franchise since 1964.

History

=Planning and construction=

In 1975, the Lions moved to the Pontiac Silverdome after playing at Tiger Stadium from 1938 to 1939 and 1941 to 1974.{{cite web|title=Ballparks|url=https://www.mlb.com/tigers/history/ballparks|website=MLB.com|access-date=December 22, 2017|archive-date=July 24, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180724093122/https://www.mlb.com/tigers/history/ballparks|url-status=live}}{{cite web|first=Bill|last=Dow|title=The Detroit Lions' Last Game at Tiger Stadium|url=https://www.vintagedetroit.com/blog/2010/12/10/the-detroit-lions-last-game-at-tiger-stadium/|website=Vintage Detroit|date=December 10, 2010|access-date=August 8, 2020|archive-date=August 24, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190824221633/https://www.vintagedetroit.com/blog/2010/12/10/the-detroit-lions-last-game-at-tiger-stadium/|url-status=live}} By the mid-1990s, they began exploring the possibility of returning to the city of Detroit in order to build a new stadium.{{cite web|title=Ford Field, Detroit Lions football stadium|url=https://www.stadiumsofprofootball.com/stadiums/ford-field/|website=Stadiums of Pro Football|access-date=December 22, 2017|archive-date=December 23, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171223042834/http://www.stadiumsofprofootball.com/stadiums/ford-field/|url-status=live}} On August 20, 1996, the Lions announced their intention to build a new stadium in Downtown Detroit. On November 5, 1996, voters approved a referendum for the stadium.

Groundbreaking for the stadium occurred on November 16, 1999, as part of a downtown revitalization plan for the city of Detroit, which included Comerica Park.{{cite web|first=Nichole M.|last=Christian|title=Detroit Sees Park as Star Player in Redevelopment|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/04/11/us/detroit-sees-park-as-star-player-in-redevelopment.html|website=The New York Times|date=April 11, 2000|access-date=December 26, 2017|archive-date=October 7, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171007022401/http://www.nytimes.com/2000/04/11/us/detroit-sees-park-as-star-player-in-redevelopment.html|url-status=live}}

Design

The stadium's design incorporates a former Hudson's warehouse, which was constructed in the 1920s.{{cite web|first=Don|last=Muret|title=Ford Field one of NFL's most versatile stadiums|url=https://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2012/08/06/In-Depth/Ford-Field.aspx|website=SportsBusiness Daily|date=August 6, 2012|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20171223043656/http://m.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2012/08/06/In-Depth/Ford-Field.aspx|archivedate=December 23, 2017|access-date=December 22, 2017}} The warehouse was converted to office space and currently has Campbell Ewald and Bodman as tenants.{{Cite web| title = Campbell Ewald to move headquarters to Hudson's warehouse at Ford Field| website = Friedman Real Estate| date = March 5, 2013| access-date = May 22, 2019| url = https://www.friedmanrealestate.com/campbell-ewald-to-move-headquarters-to-hudsons-warehouse-at-ford-field/| archive-date = August 3, 2021| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210803210725/https://www.friedmanrealestate.com/campbell-ewald-to-move-headquarters-to-hudsons-warehouse-at-ford-field/| url-status = live}}

The presence of the warehouse allows for a seating arrangement that is unique among professional American football stadiums. The majority of suites are located in the warehouse along the stadium's southern sideline, as are the lounges that serve the premium club seats on that side of the field. The bulk of the grandstand seats are located along the northern sideline and both end-lines, with gaps in the stadium's upper half at the southwest and southeast corners. The upper deck on the stadium's northern sideline also contains one level of suites and a smaller section of club seating. A similar design was implemented at the renovated Soldier Field, albeit with the use of a new structure (as opposed to an existing building) to house four levels of suites.

Unlike most prior domed stadiums, Ford Field allows a large amount of natural light to reach the field, thanks to immense skylights and large glass windows at the open corners.{{cite web|title=Ford Field | Detroit Historical Society|url=https://detroithistorical.org/learn/encyclopedia-of-detroit/ford-field|website=Detroit Historical Society|access-date=December 22, 2017|archive-date=December 23, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171223102946/https://detroithistorical.org/learn/encyclopedia-of-detroit/ford-field|url-status=live}} The windows along the ceiling are frosted to mimic the automotive factories that are prevalent in Metro Detroit. The south entrance provides the seating bowl and concourse with sunlight year-round and also offers fans a view of downtown Detroit.{{cite web|title=Ford Field|url=http://football.ballparks.com/NFL/DetroitLions/newindex.htm|website=Ballparks.com|access-date=December 26, 2017|archive-date=December 24, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171224195330/http://football.ballparks.com/NFL/DetroitLions/newindex.htm|url-status=live}} To prevent the stadium from becoming an overly imposing presence in the Detroit skyline, the playing field is {{convert|45|ft}} below street level, similar to the design at adjacent Comerica Park.{{cite web|first=Marty|last=Mulcahy|title=Trades establish rushing game to build Ford Field by next year|url=http://www.michiganbuildingtrades.org/newspaper/trades-establish-rushing-game-to-build-ford-field-by-next-year|website=Michigan Building Trades|date=December 8, 2000|access-date=December 26, 2017|archive-date=December 26, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171226234503/http://www.michiganbuildingtrades.org/newspaper/trades-establish-rushing-game-to-build-ford-field-by-next-year|url-status=live}}

Ford Field is one of the few venues in the NFL that has end zones in the east and the west. There is no NFL rule for field construction in roofed venues regarding sunlight distracting players on the field.{{cite web|title=Why do football fields run north to south?|url=https://www.reference.com/world-view/football-fields-run-north-south-82a88c5f05b0a59e|website=Reference.com|date=August 4, 2015|publisher=IAC Publishing, LLC|access-date=January 2, 2017|archive-date=August 11, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200811152237/https://www.reference.com/world-view/football-fields-run-north-south-82a88c5f05b0a59e|url-status=live}} The east–west end zone design accommodated the Hudson warehouse location. The natural light is not a distraction to the players in a day game, because the light only reaches as far as the sidelines, leaving the field still properly lit with the combination of artificial stadium lighting and sunlight.

In 2017, Ford Field underwent its first major renovation. The $100 million renovation included new video boards, a new sound system, updated suites, and the renovation of multiple restaurants, clubs, and bars on the property.

The stadium was home to the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl sponsored by Detroit-based Little Caesars (previously known as the Motor City Bowl and jointly sponsored by the Big Three automakers headquartered in Detroit – Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors) from 2002 until 2013.

In 2016, Dan Gilbert and Tom Gores announced a bid for a Major League Soccer expansion franchise, first looking at building a new open-air stadium in downtown Detroit, then focusing on playing at Ford Field, which would be retrofitted with a retractable roof. However, in 2018, Gilbert and Gores and the Ford family would "not move forward with this proposed retrofit, because the risks that would inhere to such an undertaking would substantially outweigh the rewards".{{cite web|first=Vince|last=Ellis|title=Detroit MLS expansion group: Ford Field retractable roof is no-go|url=https://www.freep.com/story/sports/2018/10/18/detroit-mls-expansion-ford-field-roof/1681151002/|website=Detroit Free Press|date=October 18, 2018|access-date=March 29, 2022|archive-date=March 29, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220329003024/https://www.freep.com/story/sports/2018/10/18/detroit-mls-expansion-ford-field-roof/1681151002/|url-status=live}}
