first time I saw a football game at Ford Field - the facilities were excellent. Please stick to football though - cannot say the same about basketball games held there!
It was a great day at Ford Field, the seats were great and it wasn't too crowded which always makes it nice! MSU won and that's all that matters! Loved having the Spartan Marching Band there also! :-)
The tickets were overpriced for this game and drove away a lot of fans. I enjoyed the event but it was not worth the price I paid.
Received the tickets in a timely manner. Seats were great - enjoyed the game.
After taking my wife and family downtown, felt like once again I was let down by an MSU game at Ford Field. The attendance was weak and the game was extremely uneventful. Got downtown about 2 hours before game time and was deserted. Went to Hockeytown expecting a decent crowd, and we were the only ones there. The crowd eventually rolled in, but couldn't be what anyone expected. I guess the bottom line is that I felt I overpaid($50/ticket) for a game that was boring, OK seats, and a crowd that didn't even compare to the high school playoffs!
Good game. Florida played a good, smart game. Right up until the last three minutes. With a 4th and goal from the 1, FAU went for it and was stopped. But a flag pushed the ball back 5 yards and gave them another chance. Rather than go for it on 4th and 6, they settled for a FG instead. That cost them any chance of winning. Then they didn't try the on-side kick, and didn't use any of their time outs during the next drive. It's like they just gave up after not making the 4th and 1 (that penalty certainly didn't help). Still it was a good game and FAU came a lot closer than the "experts" called.
Unless this is a HUUGE game - of great significance -- Ford Field is not the best place for college sports- especially football. The game I attended MSU vs FAU.. was not a BIG draw -- so the stands were pretty empty and the ""college" atmosphere was definately lost!!!. Lotta people brought their 'younger' kids -- and they had NO INTEREST in the game -- just getting UPnDown -- and eating and talking. The seats were sold off line(obviously) and the randomness gave us verrry poor seats for viewing and enjoying the game. The concessions were overpriced and the closeness of the seats made it an uncomfortable day.
great time for the kids, 1st football game they were at. big msu fans!!
This was a great event at Ford Field in Detroit, It has been since 1944 since State has played football here. I was very happy to be here and would go again in a heartbeat if they came back. Plus FAU was able to have this buliding as their homefield. They both played a great game but victorious MSU wins the game!!! Thanks for the good times!!!
Good game. Great place to see a football game. Ticket prices for this game were too high.
Seats were way overpriced for a college game that wasn't even close to being a sellout.
Fun. MSU could have played better but a win is a win. Ticket prices to high.
We had a great time at the MSU game. We had great seats position wise but being our first time at Ford Field I was SHOCKED how narrow the seats are. Unless you are a small build, 100 pound female, you will get to know your neighbor really well. Shoulder to shoulder has new meaning there. I would never go to a Lions game and pay what they want for Level 1 seats to be that uncomfortable.
Game was great I'm a Michigan State fan. First time to Ford Field great facility.
This was my 5th time at Ford Field - 1st for football. The game was a little disappointing for several reasons: Spartans played poorly, the size of the crowd, and the sound system. Overall, we enjoyed our day in Detroit, especially going out for dinner.
Great game! Ford Field was a great venue - not too bad getting in or out, concessions were good, though a little pricey. I would go there again for a game.
Spectacular venue....too bad it was so poorly attended. Great idea but you need to bring in a bigger draw than FAU to fill the house.
Nothing Special..............................................................................
All was well with the game however, when I purchased the tickets I also purchased a parking permit in the Ford Field ramp. I was unable to find the printable pass when I printed my seat tickets, so I assumed it was coded into the printable event ticket that I printed from my computer. When I got to the event I was told that the parking pass was not part of the printable ticket and therefore I had to pay an extra $20 to be admitted to the event.
Game was good, but never did find our seats. Club level sections are poorly marked and the usher was no help at all. Not a big deal, we moved to an empty row up higher.
