GRAND RAPIDS, MI — Detroit Lions fans will now be able to attend select away games thanks to new nonstop flights through Delta Air Lines at Gerald R. Ford International Airport.
Beginning Saturday, June 7, Delta will offer roundtrip tickets to five Lions away games, as well as one University of Michigan away game, from GRR. Lions season tickets are sold out for 2025-2026 and single tickets are extremely limited, so the move will allow fans to more easily see their favorite team at stadiums across the country.
Ticket prices were not revealed at the time of publishing.

Ford International Airport Authority, said in a release. “With home games at Ford Field in high demand, our partners at Delta are making it easier than ever for West Michiganders to catch the Lions in action at five exciting away game destinations. Delta has also added a special opportunity for Wolverines to see their team at an early game in Oklahoma.
