Detroit Lions Weather Playbook: Ford Field Fixed Dome and NFC North

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

Home advantage

The Lions play in a fixed-dome stadium. No weather variance at home. Every home game plays in identical climate-controlled conditions regardless of Detroit outside temperature.

Division road environments

NFC North road trips into Chicago Lake Michigan wind, Green Bay Lambeau cold, and Minneapolis fixed dome. Chicago and Green Bay are the primary weather-affected road environments.

For DFS and bettors

Zero weather variance for Lions home games despite the cold Detroit market. Road Lions games in NFC North matchups at Chicago and Green Bay are where weather matters most.
