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.

    I'm actually going to PHX this weekend for the Texans game. Buddy said it will be the 1st blackout in 3 years at the new stadium.
    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    Why aren't the Lions ever mentioned when teams are brought up that could potentially move to L.A.?

    "Why aren't the Lions ever mentioned when teams are brought up that could potentially move to L.A.?"

    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.

    Because there's a team in Jacksonville, Florida.

    No blackout in D-town!!image

    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.
