Chiefs Anyone been to Ford Field? - Page 3

wheeler08 · 04-17-2019, 06:49 PM

Living in NW Indiana, Detroit is only 4 hours away. Thinking of getting a hotel close to stadium and parking at hotel and walking there. I’ve never been to Detroit. Is that area as ghetto as what I imagine Detroit being? Any tips on where to stay and what to do on a Saturday night there for a trip away with the wife?

Slow's, Vicki's or Bert's and probably in that order.

I must have lucked out. Booked from Thurs-Mon. Going to do the Ford Library in Ann Arbor(the museum is in Grand Rapids...strange they split it up, Truman is one stop shop - stinks because the stairwell from the fall of Saigon is at the museum). Will checkout the model T museum and Mo-Town museum. Glad the game is in September.

As figured, you guys are pussies. Hanging out in downtown Detroit, no different than any other city. Pretty nice downtown

Turns out I'll be at the game but a very quick in-and-out trip with my wife's entire family. Where are your seats?

And glad you're surviving Detroit. I'm disappointed I won't be able to do sight-seeing across 8 Mile.

Section 126, row 34. About the 35-40 yard line, behind the chiefs bench

Should I look for you in the fancy Mahomes 15 sport coat?

I was there when Marcus Allen played for the team. Had a blast! Fans were good, treated us well, we had a great time. One guy even offered me his leather jacket for my signed Joe Montana jersey.

I’ve seen a couple people in chiefs clothes in the casino!

If you wear a Brett Perriman Chiefs jersey, nobody from Detroit would mess with you.

But you might have to watch out for any Chiefs fans in town above the age of 44.
