Ford Field Handicap Parking

There are handicap spaces available in all lots for fans to use for any event at the venue. Please note that all accessible parking spaces come at a first come and first serve basis.

Is there Tailgating?

Tailgate parties in the parking lots are a core component for Lions football games. You can find fans grilling, drinking, and partying in the parking lots before each match at the venue. In addition to traditional tailgating, fans typically head over to the Easter Market before the game.

 

The Eastern Market is about a 10-minute walk to the venue and has fun and exciting tailgate festivities for fans to check out. Finally, Greektown has many fan festivities happening before games too, so check that out as well.
