Ford Field Accessible Seating
Where the accessible (ADA) and wheelchair seats are at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, how to get them, and getting in. From Ford Field's official accessibility information, checked September 30, 2026: official accessibility page.
Where the accessible seats are
Wheelchair-accessible and companion seating is in a row at the top of certain sections on the lower and upper concourses; on a ticket, row "ADA" is that wheelchair row. Guests who do not use a wheelchair or scooter can ask an usher for a folding chair in the accessible space. Guests who need help reaching a regular seat can store a mobility device through a Guest Service desk.
Getting accessible tickets
On game or event day, a guest needing mobility assistance whose tickets are not in accessible seating should first fill out a seat relocation form at Guest Services, then exchange tickets at the Advance Ticket Windows at Gate A (by Section 100) or Gate G (by Section 112). Exchanges depend on availability and may be limited to the guest plus one companion; larger parties may get nearby non-accessible seats. Advance relocation may be possible depending on where the tickets were bought; contact Guest Services at least a week ahead.
Bought a resale ticket that is not in an accessible location? The Justice Department's ADA rules require a venue to exchange it for a comparable accessible seat if one is free when you present the ticket, so contact guest services early. See how accessible seating works.
Arriving and getting in
Drop-off and pick-up is near Brush and Montcalm streets, outside Gates B and C. Accessible parking is in Lot 4 on Montcalm Street and the Ford Field Parking Deck, first come, first served, with the appropriate ADA permit and a state plate or placard. Gates A, B, C, D and G have accessible security lanes marked with a blue ADA sign. Passenger elevators are in five areas. Wheelchairs can take guests from Guest Services to their seats and back to the gate afterward, but not for use during the event.
Parking passes for games here are sold separately: Ford Field parking.
Other accessibility services
Assistive listening devices are at Guest Services at Gates A, B, C, E and G. Closed captioning runs in the team's app at Lions home games, with loaner tablets at Guest Service desks; captioning and ASL interpreting for other events may be available with three weeks' notice. A sensory room is available through Guest Services. Trained service animals are permitted; emotional support animals are not.
Finding accessible seats on StubOrder
Open an event and its seat map. Sellers mark accessible listings in the listing notes (for example "ADA accessible; these tickets allow for wheelchair access"), and where the seat map shows an ADA Accessible filter, it lists only those. Ford Field decides who sits in accessible seating, so check its policy before you buy. Accessible listings are few, and many events have none at a given moment.
