Going to my first Ford Field game (Panthers) ... yeah I know it opened in 2002 and it is close to hitting its decade mark soon, but I now live 2970.2 miles away, so give me a break.

Here's my Q's:

1.  "Stuff" I should see at Ford Field while I'm there?

2.  Food recs if I get hungry?.

3.  Recommended place to park near the stadium and/or good place (bar, eatery) that has a free shuttle where you won't have to wait for hours?  Need to figure out the logistics.

Thanks in advance tor suggestions for a "newbie".  I am really looking forward to this !!!!
