Probably just shipped the whole carpet up from Dallas since they were a sure bet to make the Super Bowl this year.
It could be the class move, but the Lions get another home game out of this (and the stadium makes a bunch of extra cash).
Are they going to bus in the fat guy with the beard and helmet that looks like a trucker?(No, the Viking guy - not Favre)And that horn sound for when the Vikings score?
What time will the roof collapse?
Won't be necessary, unfortunately.
if they really do it like they would in MN you will never be able to tell there are only 12 people there because they will pump in so much crowd noise it will sound like an all time sel out event of the century
How do the Lions get an extra home game?
Oh, yeah, they're totally benefitting from it, no doubt. I just meant the class part being in trying to replicate the home game environment for a divison rival. I got the impression from the Tom Lewand quote that I saw that the Lions offered that up as opposed to it being league mandated. Who knows how accurate that is, but either way - it's a good event for Detroit area. I heard people were in line for tickets at 6:30am in a blizzard this morning.
And free tix too. I think the Lions were great here
Too bad for you the game was a snoozer. The gameflow was terrible on tv, so bad that Directv dropped the game for 15 minutes & the black screen on my tube was the highlight of the night.. I cant imagine how bad that was live...
Had a couple of friends go to the game. Said it was not nearly sold out as advertised. How many people were there would you estimate?
Upper bowl was pretty much empty. Lower bowl and the club level on the NYG side was pretty well full. Not sure but judgin by the empty parking lots Id say maybe 35-40k.
Wonder why they kept saying it was going to be a full house on the news? My feeling is that the Lions got a little gun-shy when the demand was so high for general admission seating and cut off the sales out of fear.
They only issued about 30k tix at the box office Yesterday morning. The Lions/packers tix from the day before would get you in and so would and NYG/Minn tix. SO they didnt want to over do it. Sclapers tried to create a demand too but gobbling up as many tix as possible.
They could keep the Vikings logo on the field. Lions are away this weekend.
Did I miss something?
