Club Overview

The Detroit Lions were founded in 1930 in Portsmouth, Ohio, as the Portsmouth Spartans, and became the Lions after relocating to Detroit in 1934. The club won four league championships — in 1935, 1952, 1953, and 1957 — but has yet to reach a Super Bowl since the game began in 1967.

The Detroit Lions are an NFC North franchise based in Detroit, Michigan, famous for their tradition of hosting a home game every Thanksgiving Day.

Seating Guide

Ford Field is a fixed-roof dome, offering comfortable viewing regardless of Detroit’s harsh winters.

Tickets

Food Guide

Detroit’s famous Coney dog (chili dog) strip is within walking distance.

Cheer Culture

When Dan Campbell declared he’d “bite a kneecap off” at his 2021 introductory press conference, it was mocked for years — but it became the team’s defining identity when the Lions won their first division title since 1993 in the 2023 season, following it up with back-to-back double-digit-win seasons.

💡 Insider Tips

🚌 Getting There

The free Detroit People Mover’s Broadway station is a 7-minute walk from the stadium, and the free QLine streetcar also has a stop within walking distance — meaning you can reach the stadium free of charge from almost anywhere downtown.

🏨 Where to Stay

Stay downtown and use the People Mover to get around. The Hilton Garden Inn is the closest to the stadium and includes guest parking, while the Detroit Marriott Renaissance Center has its own People Mover stop (ride to Grand Circus Park station, then a few blocks on foot).

🎟️ Tickets

Popularity has surged since the team’s turnaround starting in 2023, so sellouts are more common than before — it’s worth checking resale platform prices in advance as well.

🗺️ Nearby Sightseeing

The Motown Museum (open Wednesday-Sunday, 10am-6pm, with extended summer hours) is about a 15-minute drive from downtown — well worth a visit if you’re interested in soul and Motown music history.

🎁 Club Perks

No specific Korean connection has been confirmed.

💡 Insider Tips

Detroit is geographically in the Midwest but runs on Eastern Time — a common time-zone trap for visitors.
