Home venues in Ticket Timeline's game data

Buildings the Lions have called home in the attendance data Ticket Timeline uses—useful when an old ticket names a former stadium from before the franchise settled in Detroit.

  • Former home (pre-Detroit): Universal Stadium, Portsmouth, OH (1930–1933)—as the Portsmouth Spartans, before the franchise relocated to Detroit
  • Former home: University of Detroit Stadium (1934–1937, 1940)
  • Former home: Tiger Stadium (1938–1939, 1941–1974)—shared with MLB's Detroit Tigers
  • Former home: Pontiac Silverdome (1975–2001)—in suburban Pontiac, MI
  • Current home: Ford Field (2002–present)—back downtown in Detroit

Coverage in Ticket Timeline's game data starts in 1930—a data-coverage year, not a franchise-founding claim; the franchise began play in 1929 as the Portsmouth Spartans.

Detroit Lions play home games at Ford Field in Detroit, MI, USA. Dates for those nights are anchored in Eastern time. The building list above is what Ticket Timeline uses when an older ticket names a former stadium from an earlier era of the franchise.

Rebuild your Lions history

Use that timeline when dating a night: Universal Stadium in Portsmouth, Ohio, University of Detroit Stadium, Tiger Stadium, the Pontiac Silverdome, and Ford Field are five different buildings across nearly a century of the same franchise—not renames of one building. Rebuilding Lions attendance is usually a scavenger hunt: paper tickets and PDF confirmations, camera-roll scoreboard dates, calendar invites, season-ticket statements, and memory anchors (companions, rivals, life events, stadium names on stubs). Work season by season; a partial list of attended games is enough to start matching opponents and stadiums. When confirmations live in Gmail, Find Your Games walks through a read-only preview before anything is committed. For a shoebox of stubs, see what to do with old ticket stubs.

  • Old paper tickets and digital PDFs
  • Email receipts and order confirmations
  • Camera-roll photos with visible dates or scoreboards
  • Calendar entries and season-ticket records
  • Memory anchors: opponents, companions, venues, life events
  • Universal Stadium clues (1930–1933)—a former home building in Portsmouth, Ohio
  • University of Detroit Stadium clues (1934–1937, 1940)—a former home building
  • Tiger Stadium clues (1938–1939, 1941–1974)—a former home building shared with baseball
  • Pontiac Silverdome clues (1975–2001)—a former home building in suburban Pontiac
  • Ford Field nights (2002–present)—current home, back downtown in Detroit

What your Lions archive unlocks

Once you've logged Lions games you attended, Ticket Timeline surfaces the attendance story—not a live scoreboard. Visited insights can include University of Detroit Stadium (1934–1937, 1940), Tiger Stadium (1938–1939, 1941–1974), the Pontiac Silverdome (1975–2001), and Ford Field (2002–present).

At Ford Field

Lions home games today are at Ford Field in downtown Detroit—the franchise's home since 2002, after decades at the Pontiac Silverdome in the suburbs. Earlier venues from Tiger Stadium back to Portsmouth's Universal Stadium are noted in the venue timeline above—use those when an old ticket predates 2002.

How Ticket Timeline connects your Lions games

Add Lions games from memory, import a spreadsheet, or scan ticket stubs. Ticket Timeline links each attended game to NFL context—teams, stadiums, players, and notable moments—so nights across University of Detroit Stadium, Tiger Stadium, the Silverdome, and Ford Field become a browsable Lions archive. Primary focus on this page: home and road games since the franchise's 1934 move to Detroit.

Ticket Timeline matches NFL game context and stats

Home stands and road trips for Lions fans

Whether you mostly see the Lions at Ford Field in Detroit or travel for away games, Ticket Timeline keeps home and road attendance in one timeline—matchups, stadiums, and the nights you actually attended, going back through the Silverdome and Tiger Stadium eras.

A memory worth recovering

If you were there for a Thanksgiving game at the Pontiac Silverdome or an afternoon at Tiger Stadium when the Lions shared it with baseball, those stubs are still Lions history. The franchise itself started even earlier, as the Portsmouth Spartans in Ohio before moving to Detroit in 1934—so a very old family story might reach back further than the stadium list above.
