Why is the Detroit Lions stadium called Ford Field?

When did the Lions get a dome?
In the mid 1990s, the Lions became dissatisfied with the Silverdome as it lacked many amenities found in newer stadiums. By 1997, bonds were passed allowing construction of a new domed stadium in downtown Detroit. The Lions played their final game at the Silverdome on January 6, 2002.
