Getting back after the event

After a night game or concert, the free People Mover from Broadway station is the simplest ride back to downtown hotels. It runs until midnight Monday to Saturday but only until 10:00 pm on Sunday, and no extended hours are published for events. The QLine on Woodward runs until midnight Monday to Saturday and until 9:00 pm on Sunday. After those stop, DDOT's 4 Woodward bus runs 24/7 (about once an hour at night). Otherwise you can walk or take a taxi or rideshare. No rideshare zone is published.

People Mover	Board at Broadway station (1441 W. Broadway at John R). Rides are free and trains come every 8 to 12 minutes. The last service is at 12:00 am Monday to Saturday and at 10:00 pm on Sunday. The People Mover does not publish later hours for Lions games or concerts, so a Sunday night game will end after it has stopped. On Thanksgiving Day it runs only until 9:00 pm. For the Monday night game on December 28, 2026 (8:15 pm kickoff), it runs until midnight. [source]
Streetcar	QLine on Woodward Avenue, north to Midtown and New Center or south to Campus Martius and Congress Street. It is free and comes every 15 minutes or less.

Driving and parking

The lots and decks next to Ford Field and Comerica Park are first-come, first-served on game and event days. They generally open four hours before kickoff. You cannot reserve a specific space, and tailgating and re-entry are not allowed in these facilities.

Attendants direct cars into spaces. Saving or reserving spaces is not allowed.
The Lions point to Ford Field's Book Parking page and the ParkWhiz app to buy a space ahead of time, subject to availability.
Accessible parking on game days: Lot 4 (on Montcalm, just north of the stadium and east of Brush St; enter from Montcalm) and the Ford Field Parking Deck (on St. Antoine, just east of the stadium). First-come, first-served, with a disabled permit and a state-issued plate or placard.
