Ford Field blew me away with how a football venue can be built to have state of the art facilities from the bathrooms to the concessions, to the the sightlines, be indoors, be as large as the stadium is, and still not have the game experience ruined by a stadium that is as large and not open-air as Ford Field is. Basically, I was impressed by the gameday experience, even though the Skins-Lions game I went to was in Detroit's 0-16 year.
Arrowhead, by comparison, is a really impressive football atmosphere, but for a football-only stadium, really was kind of a pain. There are "good" kinds of old, and Arrowhead wasn't of that kind. I know they did a really expensive renovation on it recently, but I have a hard team believing the stadium improved in any meaningful way.
(Kauffman Stadium (KC Royals) -- on the other hand -- is a beautiful venue, albiet preposterously limited in # of seats for an MLB park. I suppose though if you're the Royals, that doesn't much matter.)

Ford Field is awesome, not really a bad seat in the house. I still hate sitting low and in end zone, but even they weren't that bad. Sat in both.
It's just a clean, well-designed stadium. I hate how they take bottle tops though, I like to keep my top on when I'm not sipping, I guess that's so they can't be used as weapons/projectiles?
The surrounding area/parking, roads are an utter clusterfawk though
