If you’re traveling in from out of state or if you’ve just never been to Ford Field before, here’s some statistics on it:
LOCATION: 2000 BRUSH ST, DETROIT, MI 48226
Ford Field holds approximately 65,000 attendees for events, so this is gonna be a big one. This is the same venue they had Wrestlemania at in 2007, so it can pack in a crowd.
Make sure to plan your parking situation accordingly if you don’t want to pay $40-$60 for parking. Most of the big venues downtown are all in the same general location, so concertgoers, showgoers, and sports entertainment goers will be battle-royale-ing their way to the perfect parking situation. There are tons of garages and paid lots around the city, and many Lyft and Uber drivers, so it might honestly be cheaper to park farther away and get a ride there.
Also, as a reminder, in accordance with NFL Security Guidelines, the only bags, packages, or containers permitted to be carried by fans as they approach the stadium are as follows: Bag that is clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC and does not exceed 12″ x 6″ x 12″ One-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (ziploc bag or similar).
