Both teams are around 1,500 short of selling out, my guess is they will both get the NFL 24 hour extension to
sell the remaining tickets.

The Lions are a long established franchise and the NFL has a certain loyalty to Mr. Ford which is also
why the idea of no more Thanksgiving games for the Lions has gone nowhere.
Another factor is they don't want to tick off GM, Ford or Chrysler who are based in the Detroit area and
have large advertising accounts with the networks that show NFL games.
<< <i>Why aren't the Lions ever mentioned when teams are brought up that could potentially move to L.A.? >>
Because there's a team in Jacksonville, Florida.
Detroit fans are actually very loyal football fans considering what a cr@ppy product they put on the field year after year.
It's mind-boggling how many seats they still sell. Ford Field is a great venue to see a game to maybe that plays into it a bit.
