In addition to NFL games, Ford Field hosts NCAA bowl games, wrestling championships, NCAA basketball games, Monster Jam, and more. Here are some of the best food options to consider at the venue to get during a football game or any event.

My Recommendation

While I have never been to Ford Field for a game, I have been to many different stadiums that have the express checkout lane to grab drink and food from. Whenever I need to grab a drink (or chips) during the game, I tend to go to an express checkout line since the line moves fast. Therefore, my recommendation for anyone going to Ford Field for a game is to head to The Kroger Cooler concession stand to pickup drinks during the game.

 

Can you Bring Outside Food into Ford Field Stadium?

According to the Detroit Lions’ official website, all outside food and liquids are not allowed inside the stadium. You can check out the entire list of prohibited items with this link.

 

Also, be sure to visit the Ford Field Bag Policy guide to see what you can and can’t bring into the venue.

 

Can you Tailgate and Eat Before a Game?

Tailgating events occur before the kickoff during a Detroit Lions home game. The best place to tailgate is the Eastern Market and Greektown near Comerica Park, where the Detroit Tigers play baseball. Check out the Comerica Park parking if you are looking to save money when catching a baseball game.

Conclusion: Ford Field Food

In summary, Ford Field is famous for its annual Thanksgiving game in the Motor City each season. The stadium updates it’s food and drink offerings each season, so there is always something new to try. My recommendation is that if you only want to pickup drinks during the game, head to an express checkout station so you won’t miss the action.
