Lions Partner With MGM Grand Detroit On Premium Area

DETROIT (AP) - The Detroit Lions and the MGM Grand Detroit casino-hotel plan to build an exclusive premium area for fans at Ford Field.

They announced Tuesday that the MGM Grand Detroit Tunnel Club will be located adjacent to the Lions locker room and will accommodate more than 100 fans and guests from MGM Grand Detroit during home games and other stadium events.

As part of the plans, the lower bowl in the west end zone is being extended to include field-level seating for Tunnel Club members. Those in the area, which will include bleacher-style seating, will get a close-up view of Lions player leaving and entering the locker room.

Season memberships for the Tunnel Club will be available for purchase through the team's premium seating department.
