Sadly, they lost in the Divisional Round to the Washington Commanders, but there\u2019s no use is dwelling on the past.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Big Detroit Lions Announcement<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, a lot will look different for the Detroit Lions in the 2025 season. They have a new batch of head coordinators, and they\u2019ve also switched up the rest of their coaching staff.\u00a0But, one thing won\u2019t change, and that\u2019s the name of their beloved indoor venue.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, March 28, the Detroit Lions and Ford Motor Company announced that they are extending their stadium naming rights agreement through at least the 2036 season, according to the official team announcement.<\/p>\n<p>The Detroit Lions have played at Ford Field since 2002, which makes it the second longest tenured naming rights partnership in the NFL, according to the announcement. Also, since first opening doors in 2002, Ford Field has hosted more than 30 million visitors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRenewing our relationship with Ford Motor Company has always been a top priority for us,\u201d Detroit Lions President and CEO Rod Wood said in a statement. \u201cFord was an integral partner in our move back to downtown Detroit in 2002 and continues to be valuable to the growth of our brand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cWe are proud to have an iconic, Detroit founded company\u2019s name on our building for the foreseeable future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFord and the Lions are perfect partners \u2013 two iconic organizations that are both deeply rooted in Detroit,\u201d added Jim Farley, Ford president and CEO. \u201cEver since Bill Ford spearheaded bringing Ford Field downtown, this stadium has helped drive Detroit\u2019s comeback and hosted some of the biggest events in sports and entertainment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cAnd just like our hometown, our Ford and Lions teams are defined by hard work and grit. So, we couldn\u2019t be prouder to have the Lions and their fans keep calling their home \u2018Ford Field.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Music and More at Ford Field<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, it\u2019s not just sports at Ford Field. Any good Motor City residents has been to the stadium for at least one concert, too. Since opening in 2002, the venue has hosted major tour, such as from the likes of Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, The Rolling Stones, Eminem, Kid Rock and Garth Brooks.<\/p>\n<p>Country music star\u00a0Kenny Chesney holds the venue\u2019s concert attendance. He hosted 560,000 attendees across 12 performances in downtown Detroit back in 2023, so it would be hard to top that. For the 2025 season, the venue looks to host acts such as Kendrick Lamar featuring SZA, AC\/DC for their reunion tour, The Weeknd, Post Malone, Chris Brown, Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks and more, as well as the Michigan State versus Maryland college football game.<\/p>\n<p>So, Lions fans can rest easy that they\u2019ll be able to call Ford Field home for at least another decade and some change.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Detroit Lions are making what&#8217;s usually a quiet offseason a bit more splashy with a major announcement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19144,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19143","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit-lions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
