The Detroit Lions have forged a partnership with Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling (RCCB), making Coca-Cola the Official Soft Drink of the organization. This collaboration brings a wide array of Coca-Cola products to Ford Field concession stands and Lions Loyal Marketplaces, starting April 22, 2023. This marks a return to serving Coca-Cola beverages to Lions fans since their days at the Pontiac Silverdome.
Kelly Kozole, Detroit Lions Senior Vice President of Revenue, expressed her excitement, saying:
We are proud to partner with Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling to introduce Coca-Cola to Ford Field for the very first time. Coca-Cola is an iconic brand, undoubtedly a fan-favorite, and it’s exciting to expand our beverage selections for guests at the stadium.
Fans to Enjoy Diverse Coca-Cola Beverages
A range of Coca-Cola beverages will be available to fans, including Coca-Cola®, Coca-Cola® Zero Sugar, Diet Coke®, Sprite®, Cherry Coke®, Dr Pepper®, smartwater® (at select locations). Additionally, DASANI® will be the Official Water of the Detroit Lions.
It’s time to taste the transformation…Coca-Cola is now at Ford Field!
Today the @Lions and Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling are excited to announce their partnership to bring #cocacola products to our stadium for the first time.
