That was one of the most ridiculous things, because contracts had already been signed. Instead of them being honored, Walker and Kleefisch basically said "lol no" to the rail fleet manufacturers.

Do the Lions really hate any teams in the division? They've always been the little brother that's just kind of there.

Do you think bad teams/fans of bad teams aren't full of hatred? The question should be if anyone hates the Lions other than their own fans.

I hate all the non Packer NFC north teams to varying degrees depending on how the season is going each year.

Being one of 8 Viking fans in LA every time I see a Packers decal on a car I get side by side with them flip them off, then cut them off so they can see my Norseman decal, happens about 4 times a week, can't say I've ever seen Lion/ Bears stuff on a car. Pretty sure I'd let them merge safely cause they got enough poo poo piled on them in their lives.

We have a friend who is probably one of the only Vikings fans in a ~1800 mile radius - after we hosted a Xmas party and he got blackout drunk and passed out on our couch, we covered him in our Packers blanket and took a picture and posted it on Facebook, tagging him.

His friends were extremely pissed with him.

There are like 5% of people on this island that aren't bandwagon Steelers fans. I prefer Vikings fans to that.

Also it warms my dead heart to watch him agonize twice a year during the divisional games

Among the most expensive in the league. I think the average price of a single ticket on the secondary market last year was something like $375.

Edit: Nosebleeds in 324 (so basically sitting on the rear end-edge of the stadium) are going for $119 per for the home opener.

Cheaper to buy lions season tickets and drive to Detroit for every game.

e: I've been to 5 games in the past two years, I think the most I paid for a game was $35 a seat.

Currently closed? I was just at the Shedd last week, definitely open. Also I along with thousands of other fans don't drive to/park at the stadium.

I think he means closed at that point on Sundays.

As a Michigan native and a Detroit defender who lives in Chicago, I must emphasize that AsInHowe does not speak for us. Traffic is the only advantage Detroit has, and that's because there's 2 million people here vs. less than 700K.
