The Detroit Lions are already off to a strong start after scoring a 26-20 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night for their season opener held at Ford Field. For ticket holders with dreams of a Lions Super Bowl this season, expect a diverse array of food and drink offerings throughout the stadium — many of which come from women or minority-owned businesses.
Among the highlights at Ford Field this year, is the Battle of the Coneys, which during each home game will pit the Motor City’s iconic coney dog against a coney creation inspired by the visiting team (Streats of Detroit Stands — Section 109, 126, 217, and 244); fried chicken wings tossed in butter chicken sauce (Corner Bar & Grill); smash burgers (Sections 100 + 120 & Tailgate Grill Section 219 + 242); shawarma, orzo rice bowls and fattoush salad from Modern Greek and Salad Bar (Section 115 & 216); nachos smothered in barbecue pork, buffalo chicken, or chopped brisket from the Nacho Factory (South Club and Chopped Pork Nachos at AiFi 139); classic barbecue options from Slows Bar BQ; and brunch anytime picks from Brush that include brats, giant cinnamon rolls, and brisket bowls.
