USFL’s Michigan Panthers will play at Ford Field in 2023

The USFL announced on Thursday that Detroit will be one of four hubs to host games for their 2023 season. The eight-team spring football league is entering its second season since its revival last year. In 2022, all games were played in Birmingham, Alabama. This year, there are four host cities that will act as the “home” site for two teams each.

One of the teams that will be “home” in Detroit is the Michigan Panthers. The Panthers were one of the most successful USFL franchises during its first iteration in the 1980s, winning its inaugural championship in 1983.
