DETROIT (FOX 2) - The Lions are back and so are the fans! With a new quarterback and front office, the faithful will be loud at Ford Field. But you gotta make sure you're at Ford Field early to take advantage of the concessions.
Discounts on concessions at Ford Field
When the gates open for the Lions game, two hours before the game starts, you can get some great prices on food and drinks through the Silver Savings.
You can get a pop for $2, a hot dog for $2, beer for $3, and a cocktail for $3. That's for the first 60 minutes after the doors open at select locations - specifically, Streats (sections 109, 124, 126, 130, 137, 217, 223, 227, 229, 238, 244), SZ at section 117. Bud LIght Party Zone, Social D, WynnBet (formerly Corner Bar and Grille at section 224).
How to order concessions on your phone
Ok - this is pretty cool. When you're at the game, you can order food on your phone and skip those long lines and just pick up your items. This is great for families or for people who don't want to miss the game.
To order from your seat, get the Detroit Lions mobile app, tap Game Day from the bottom menu and then tap mobile ordering. Once there, you can enter your information, select what you want to eat, and then pay with your phone. You'll then get a concourse section number for where to pick up. Head to that section and find the pick up counter.
It's so simple.
