The Detroit Lions have announced that their 2025 Training Camp, presented by Rocket, will begin July 26 at the Meijer Performance Center in Allen Park. This marks the 19th consecutive year the team has held training camp at this location. The camp will include two joint practices with the Miami Dolphins and one with the Houston Texans.

Fans interested in attending must register for free tickets, with a maximum of four per person. Registration opens July 15 at www.detroitlions.com/trainingcamp. Additionally, three practices will be exclusive to Lions Loyal Members, who will receive separate information on early registration starting July 8.

The camp will again feature the Pet Adoption Day event on July 29, sponsored by Pet Supplies Plus. Since its start in 2023, nearly 40 dogs have been adopted during this initiative.

“Detroit Lions Training Camp, presented by Rocket, offers activities for all ages including photos with Roary, the Detroit Lions Cheerleaders and Lions Legends. Guests can also enjoy ticket and merchandise giveaways, interactive games and activities, plus free face painting and balloon artists on select days. Local Detroit-area food trucks will be on-site with food and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase,” according to the team.

Parking is free near the Meijer Performance Center at 222 Republic Drive in Allen Park. Fans parking in Fairlane Circle lots can use a complimentary shuttle service to reach the venue. Staff will guide visitors to designated parking areas.

Upon arrival, attendees should enter through either the Republic Drive entrance or the back gate off Southfield Freeway (M-39 North) Service Drive based on their parking location.
