Tailgating at Lion's Game

[jml2]

I am going to the Lions/Bears game next Sunday and was wondering if there are areas around the stadium for tailgating? I have never been to Ford Field but have been to a few Tigers games. I don't remember seeing parking lots near the field that would be suitable for tailgating.

If so, how early should I plan on getting there to get a good spot?

Thanks in advance.

The parking areas are not huge but tailgating is going on everywhere in the close by parking lots.

Thanks for the info.
