Ford Field Weather: Fixed Dome, Detroit Setting

By Kevin Roth, sports meteorologist. Stadium weather guide for DFS players and bettors.

Climate

The Lions play in a fixed-dome stadium in downtown Detroit. Outside conditions do not affect the field. Climate-controlled indoor football every game.

How wind and weather play here

No wind at Ford Field. Consistent indoor conditions eliminate weather variance from Lions home games.

Roof behavior

Ford Field is a fixed enclosed structure with no operable roof panels. Every Lions home game plays in identical climate-controlled conditions.

For DFS and bettors

Weather variance is zero for Lions home games. Away Lions games in cold-weather NFC North matchups at Chicago, Green Bay, and Minneapolis are where weather handicapping matters most.
