World Wrestling Entertainment will stage its largest area event in 16 years when it brings its annual summertime extravaganza, SummerSlam, to Ford Field on Aug. 5.

The highly anticipated event will be the first time WWE has presented a show at Ford Field since WrestleMania 23 packed a reported 80,103 fans into the Detroit Lions' home in April 2007, setting an attendance record for the venue.

Tickets for the event, which will be held on a busy Saturday night in downtown Detroit, go on sale April 14 via Ticketmaster channels. Pre-sale information can be found on WWE's website.
