And the first bit I have is that the Lions have done something interesting with tickets.
So the Lions have launched $60 tickets, which you can get on the s- day of the game, every game for the rest of the season.
The Gate D East checkpoint and, uh, opens, and guests who must be physically present and subject to availability will receive numbered wristbands.
When the wr- wristbands have been distributed, those guests can be screened to get through Gate D.
Um, boys, the Lions have been criticized for letting the, the ticket prices go a bit crazy after the Lions finally got good again a few years ago with, you know, tickets for playoff games reaching into many, you know, thousands of dollars.
Yeah, it's better than, better than a kick in the bollocks, isn't it? But, um, we'll, we'll see how it goes.
I'd imagine they're, they're doing it as like a trial phase to start with, um, for the rest of the season.
But it's easy for me to sit here and say, someone who doesn't go to the games, it's a good or bad idea, but I'll be interested to hear what, what game-goers think of it and, and what it will add, what it w- might not add to the, the game day experience.
Yeah, and um, I know some people have been kicking off about it saying, "Oh, do people really like standing room tickets?" But helps the game day atmosphere, helps the loyal people who unfortunately got priced out.
They still get a chance to go to the game, and just adds more revenue for the teams.
Hopefully they can invest in the stadium, invest in the facilities and, you know, keep Ford Field going because after all the reports about the Bills' stadium, their lovely new one, it being crap, we don't want that for our team.
The other bits we have, Lions target Joey Porter Jr, the corner, has been traded to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2028 two and a conditional 2027 six.
He's not played, he's clearly held himself out, and he's not as injured as he's, he's let on.
