Best Seats

Parking Tips

Use the Detroit People Mover or QLine (Grand Circus stop) to avoid downtown gridlock. Gate G often has shorter security lines than Gate A.

Game Day

Sing "Gridiron Heroes" after every touchdown and watch the "Power Meter" track crowd noise (which has hit 121 decibels). Arrive for Power Hour specials.
