Ford Field is a domed stadium located in Downtown Detroit. It primarily serves as the home of the Detroit Lions of the National Football League (NFL), as well as the annual Quick Lane Bowl college football bowl game, state championship football games for the MHSAA, the MHSAA State Wrestling Championships, and the MCBA Marching Band State Finals, among other events. The regular seating capacity is approximately 65,000, though it is expandable up to 70,000 for football and 80,000 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 a member of the Ford family has controlled ownership of the Lions franchise since 1963.

In 2006, Ford Field hosted Super Bowl XL between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Seattle Seahawks, a game which was won by the Steelers 21-10. In 2014, the Buffalo Bills were forced to move their home game from Highmark Stadium here against the New York Jets due to a severe snowstorm.

Other than football, the stadium has been used for basketball, soccer and hockey games. Non-sport events include The Rolling Stones, Eminem, Madonna and AC/DC.
