[[I haven't been to many NFL stadiums but it is my favorite. Redskins' FedEx, a few years olders, is a POS. That stadium will be replaced in the next 10 or 12 years when the lease expires. Fair amount of talk about a new stadium in D.C. or NoVa.).

Quite frankly, if I didn't know better I'd guess it 5 - 10 years old [[max).

To me, the video boards were the most obvious sign of some age.
I agree that Ford Field fits Detroit's character well and will stay that way with these kinds of regular updates. It would really shine if we could only get the Lions to a playoff competitive level sometime. One can always hope. Every squirrel eventually finds a nut...
