Ford Field - Detroit Lions - The World Stadium Tour

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.
The regular seating capacity is approximately 65000, though it is expandable up to 70000 for football and 80000 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 1963.
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.
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 Detroit Lions are a professional American football team based in Detroit.
The Lions compete in the National Football League as a member of the National Football Conference North Division.
The franchise was founded in Portsmouth, Ohio as the Portsmouth Spartans and joined the NFL on July 12, 1930.
Amid financial struggles, the franchise was relocated to Detroit in 1934 and renamed the Lions in reference to the city's Major League Baseball franchise, the Detroit Tigers.
The Lions won four NFL Championship Games between 1935 and 1957.
Following the 1957 championship, the franchise did not win a playoff game until the 1991 season and did not win another until the 2023 season.
They are the only franchise operational for the entirety of the Super Bowl era to not appear in the Super Bowl.
