  2. Yeah it was absolutely INSANE down there- Loved it. Headed home before the draft and just before they closed the gates but such a cool experience.

  6. And there were just as many outside the draft area that couldn’t get in because it was at capacity..

  8. Detroit has always been a football city **first**. It’s just been sleeping for 60 years.

  9. Watching TV from Phoenix.

    Motown, baby.

    The home of rock n roll.

    And the Lions.

  13. Watching it in TV and smiling because proof of how the fans showed out. Even happier seeing the sizes of the crowds that I decided not to go and enjoy it on the TV

  15. The city has sleeping giant for like 20 years now because the teams were beyond ass.

  16. Maybe I’m biased as a fan, but it really feels like the Lions are becoming the biggest professional sports revival story of my lifetime at this point.

  20. 275,000 people congregated in downtown Detroit sounds insane. How does the city handle the logistics for that many people? Finding parking and toilets had to be pretty challenging for a lot of them.

  23. Saw some Bengal fans on the freeway omw home from work. There was a convoy. Pretty cool.

  24. For the park and ride options, where does the bus pickup? It doesn’t specify anywhere and today I waited at Meijer for over an hour. Staff didn’t know if we should wait in bus stop on main road, or if there’s a designated spot to park and get on? Didn’t see any buses on the hour as promised. The smart stops by Meijer off vandyke had signs saying wasn’t in service 🤡 trying hard to get help figuring out where the pickup spot it, no one knows.

  25. Im literally 40 minutes away from the city and my non sports bar restaurant was slow as hell tonight just because so many people went down. It’s crazy! We LOVE to see it!! WELCOME TO DETROIT CITY!!
