Detroit Lions fans are having the time of a lifetime.
They sold out season tickets last season, and it paid off with one of the — if not the — best seasons in franchise history, and they followed that with an epic NFL Draft.
Over 775,000 fans attended the three-day event in Detroit, with the league announcing that it was a record.

This was one of the most awaited draft classes in recent memory, not only because of a generational talent like Caleb Williams but also because of how many potential offensive stars — including six first-round quarterbacks — could be taken.
Also, the future seems quite bright for the Lions.
Dan Campbell has built and developed a winning culture within the organization, and it seems like everyone, from players to staff members to even the maintenance crew, has nothing but the utmost faith, respect, and belief in him.
The Lions are coming off a trip to the NFC Championship Game and had a legitimate chance to take down the San Francisco 49ers and make it all the way to the Super Bowl.
They also won the NFC North Division title for the first time in franchise history, and it doesn’t seem like that kind of success was a fluke whatsoever.
And with a strong set of selections in this year’s draft, don’t be surprised if this team is right back to the last or second-to-last game of the season in 2024 as well.
