Detroit Lions Team History
The Detroit Lions haven't always been the Lions. In 1934, George A. Richards, a radio executive, purchased the Spartans, a team from Portsmouth, Ohio. After the $8,000 purchase (a huge sum at that time), he moved the team to Detroit. In only their second year as the Detroit Lions, the team won the 1935 NFL championship, beating the New York Giants 26-7 at the University of Detroit Stadium.
During the 1950s, the Lions enjoyed some of the most successful seasons in their history, winning three league championships against the Cleveland Browns in 1952, 1953 and 1957. Divisional titles came again in 1991 and 1993.

Detroit Lions at Ford Field
The 65,000-capacity Ford Field consists of 1.85 million square feet and has four levels of suites, a level of club seating, and a ground level designated for concessions and retail. It also has some of the best sight lines of any football stadium in the United States, made available by a design that omits the traditional club and suite levels, thereby lowering the upper level.
In 2017, the Detroit Lions announced a $100 million investment into stadium renovations. Updates to The New Ford Field included a complete overhaul of Ford Field's audio/visual guest experience with new video boards to ensure easy viewing for fans in all corners of the stadium, an upgraded sound system, as well as renovated stadium suites and premium club areas.
The Detroit Lions’ schedule release video was posted on May 11, 2023, and features hilarious A.I.-generated commentary from Lions general manager Brad Holmes, head coach Dan Campbell and quarterback Jared Goff. You can watch the clip here.
The Detroit Lions’ 2023 regular season — their 90th in Detroit — kicks off in September at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, when the Lions face off against defending Super Bowl champions the Kansas City Chiefs. The Lions play their final game of the regular season at home against their NFC North rivals the Minnesota Vikings. Here’s a list of key games to keep an eye on:

venue was great---game was average----pre-game was fun---fans were passionate till their team was out of the game-----good postgame entertainment
had a lot of fun.......the food was of good quality......the employees where very busy but extremely pleasant.........will go to another game this year likely..........
We are Viking fans and had great seats and were surrounded by lots of fans that made our experience awesome. We definiately will be going to more games, next one hopefully in Minnesota.GO VIKINGS GO!!
I loved the game. Not a bad seat in the house. The offered very little food choice in the all you can eat bundle. Hot Dog, Brat, water,pop, small popcorn and nachos w/ cheese. Only one booth so line ups were huge. Still a good deal. Still a recommend, but the LIONS would serve clients better by offering more food choice and at leat once desert option. Ice cream, cookie etc...
It was my first NFL game so it's going to be one to remember. Farve, Adrian Peterson and the stinky Lions. Lots of fun. Not as much tailgating as I would have liked. I guess it's hard to do in downtown Detroit.
