Where do the Detroit Lions play football?
Ford Field

Ford Field is a multi-purpose domed stadium located in downtown Detroit. It primarily serves as the home of the Detroit Lions of the National Football League (NFL), as well as the annual Quick Lane Bowl college football bowl and high school Michigan state championships in football and wrestling. 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 (Detroit Tigers). All three professional sporting venues, Ford Field, Comerica Park and now Little Caesars Arena (Detroit Red Wings & Detroit Pistons) are all within a short walking distance of each other. The regular seating capacity is approximately 65,000, though it is expandable up to 70,000 for football and 80,000 for basketball. Unlike most 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. 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.
