Son.GOOD NEWS: Detroit Lions owners Sheila Ford Hamp and Dan Campbell have announced $5 tickets for the final week of the NFL season (Week 18) at Ford Field, giving thousands of low-income families the chance to see the Detroit Lions play live for the first time.
Detroit has waited patiently for moments of hope — and Owner Sheila Ford Hamp delivered one this week with the announcement of a $5 ticket day for Week 18 at Ford Field.
The initiative will allow thousands of low-income families to attend the Lions’ final regular-season game, reinforcing the bond between the team and a city defined by resilience.
Ford Hamp said the idea was rooted in Detroit’s identity.
“This city shows up — in good times and bad,” she said. “This is our way of showing up for them.”
Community organizations praised the move, calling it a powerful gesture that goes beyond football. Parents shared messages about children who have followed the Lions through every season without ever stepping inside Ford Field.
For many, Week 18 represents closure, reflection, and pride — regardless of standings. The Lions organization confirmed the discounted tickets will be widely available, prioritizing accessibility and inclusion.
As Detroit prepares for the final whistle of the regular season, Ford Field won’t just host a football game. It will host a city — together.
