Ford Field Gets A Makeover For Bills-Jets Game [PHOTOS]

The Buffalo Bills are technically hosting the New York Jets on Monday night when the two teams face off at Ford Field in Detroit. Crews at the stadium have been working over the last few days to make Detroit feel like home for the Bills.

The logo on the 50-yard line was changed to the Bills' primary logo, while the endzones were also changed with the script logos.

Die-hard football fans lined up outside Ford Field in Detroit as early at midnight on Sunday to get what was left of the tickets for Monday night's matchup between the Bills and Jets.

About 500 free tickets were distributed with a limit of two per person, disappointing the majority of the almost 2,000 people who waited at the box office. On Saturday morning, officials said tickets were also completely sold out online.

Ford Field hosted a game between the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Giants in 2010 when the Vikings home stadium, the Metrodome, had its dome collapsed and ripped.

All seating will be general admission.

The game will air on CBS only in the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets TV markets.
