University of Detroit Stadium was the home field for the NFL's Detroit Lions from 1934 to 1937, and again in 1940. It also was home to the Detroit Wolverines for their only NFL season in 1928. It was the site of the 1935 NFL Championship Game, won by the Lions over the New York Giants, 26–7.

The Michigan Arrows of the fledgling Continental Football League used the stadium (which then had a capacity of 20,000) for the 1968 season. Unfortunately, the Arrows drew just 4,240 fans per game en route to a 1-11 season. The Arrows moved to Midland, Michigan to become the Tri-City Apollos in 1969, then folded with the rest of the league.
