I might suggest for anyone attending the games in Detroit to stay in Windsor, Ontario Canada. (That is where I live)

Windsor is directly across the Ambassador Bridge from Detroit.

There are not many hotels in downtown Detroit near Ford Field.

Windsor has a number of hotels looking across the Detroit River on Riverside Dr. (Radisson, Travelodge, Hilton, or even Casino Windsor).

Also a number of hotels on Huron Church Rd. (which is the road you are on when you cross in Canada over the bridge). There is the Holiday Inn and Comfort Inn.

Windsor has a outstanding downtown area with a ton of great restaurants and bars for all ages. The drinking age in Windsor is also 19, great for the Wisconsin students. The establishments for gentlemen travelling with their buddies are also second to none in Windsor.

Remember you need two photo pieces of ID to cross the boarder or just a passport.
