Comments on: Lions lament part 50 http://monoblogue.us/2007/12/16/lions-lament-part-50/ I've presented news and views from Maryland's Eastern Shore since 2005, but my writing can be found at several conservative websites.

The same thing happens during the summer at Orioles games when they play Boston or New York - you would think it's Yankee Stadium or Fenway Park south. Every time the Lions play the Bears, Packers, or Vikings the regional fans head to Detroit to cheer those teams on so that between 1/3 to 1/2 the crowd is in navy/orange, green with cheeseheads, or purple. Since Cowboy fans are all over the country, their plague comes to Ford Field every so often too. When a city hasn’t had a winning season in so long, it’s hard to get the fans excited.

I finally got to see the Lions live in Detroit last week during the Cowboys game. You would be suprised at how the town just doesn't give a crap about the team. Yes, the game was soldout, but it seems like 40 percent of the crowd was Cowboy fans. The town loves the other teams that are there, but the Lions could move and no one would notice that they were gone. I live in Delaware and have been a fan of the Lions since the 1980 season.
