TEAM Training is not currently used at Ford Field.

As part of our commitment to public safety, Ford Field has partnered with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and Anheuser-Busch to offer the Decide To Ride program. Fans 21+ with valid driver’s license can pledge to get home safely. Designated drivers receive a complimentary soft drink and a chance to be selected as the Designated Driver for the Game (recognized on video board with a Lions jacket prize).
