Know Before You Go

Below are the things you need to know to attend a game.

face-coverings

Face coverings will be mandatory for anyone in-stadium (fans and staff) and must cover your nose and mouth at all times (other than while actively eating or drinking in your ticketed seats), including during security screening. Wearing a face covering not only helps to protect you but also other patrons.

social-distancing

You are required to follow all six-foot social distancing markers that will be displayed throughout Ford Field and must maintain at least six-foot social distance whenever possible, even where markers are not available. These markers will help you line up for security screening, restrooms, shops and concessions.

Tailgating will not be permitted in any form in the parking lots. Fans who park on-site will be asked to not congregate in the parking lots.

directional-signage

Directional signage will be placed throughout Ford Field to help maintain physical distancing. Fans and employees should follow all posted signage and continue to abide by social distancing markers that appear in elevator lobbies, concession lines, restrooms, and other locations. No more than two people, or one ticket pod travelling together, will be allowed in elevators.

ingress-egress

We are working to reduce congestion when entering and exiting Ford Field. Whenever possible, please use the stadium entrance noted on your ticket to help alleviate congestion at each of the gates. This will be your safest play and will help save you time.

pod-seating

Game tickets will be distributed in "pods". Signage will be clearly displayed, reinforcing social distancing guidelines and the prohibition of congregating in groups within the concourses or seating bowl. To maintain pod integrity, fans will be required to attend the game with known guests or transfer the allotment as a single unit or to a family member/friend attending the game within the pod.

proximity

The first several rows of seats closest to the field will be closed off to support physical distancing between fans and players. Ford Field will also be blocking off seats to support physical distancing among fans. Please stick to your assigned seats.

Fans should not come to the stadium if they have COVID-19, develop COVID-19 symptoms at any point before stadium entry, or know they've been exposed to COVID-19. Check your temperature before leaving home. If it is above 100.4, please stay home.

If you begin to experience COVID-19 symptoms while at the game, please report to the First Aid Station at Section 113/114 near Gate G for a medical evaluation. If you need assistance traveling to a First Aid Station, contact the nearest staff member. The stadium's onsite medical team will be prepared to treat you and provide you with personal protective equipment, if necessary.

GOING CASHLESS

GOING CASHLESS

Less Contact, Safer Environment

Ford Field will be as touchless as possible from the entry process to restrooms to concessions.

The stadium is now a cashless venue. Payment options through mobile devices (ex: Apple Pay) and traditional scan/chip options for credit/debit cards at all points of sale will be implemented.

Ford Field debuted several self-service kiosks last season, and recently installed additional point-of-sale touchless concession options throughout the stadium.

Ford Field is entirely mobile-friendly and transitioned to mobile ticketing fully ahead of the 2020 season. The stadium is one of the most WiFi connected in all of sports.
