Lions Practice For 15,000 Fans Who Waited In Rain

The Associated Press reports that thousands of hopeful Lions fans stood outside Ford Field in the rain Saturday before going inside to watch the team’s first scrimmage. “I’ve got hope,” said fan Greg Kowaleski of Southgate, Mich. “There’s a new coach and a lot of new players. Things are pretty bad around here, so maybe they’ll entertain us.” Lions coach Jim Schwartz hoped the show of support would make an impression outside of Michigan. “Anytime I hear someone around the country talking about taking (the annual Thanksgiving) game away from Detroit, I want to remind the commissioner of 15,000 people standing in the rain for two hours to watch a practice,” Schwartz said. “It says something about our fans.”

It sucked being a Dolphin fan in 07. I can't even begin to imagine how hard it is to be a Lion fan.

Ive only been watching football for almost 10 years now so as a eagles fan i havent really been through a really bad year yet. 05 was the worst i went through at 6-10 and even that really sucked. I hated mike mcmahon he was the worst when mcnabb went down.

We do have some of the most dedicated fans.....Last year was the first year since before the Lions moved from the Silverdome that games were blacked out because they didn't sell out. And most of the problems while at the Silverdome was that it seated 80,311 people which was way higher than any other football stadium other than the Superdome. Yeah we love our Lions.....Can't wait to exit the from the bottom of the league this year!!

Hopefully their football team can reward their loyalty, otherwise I think after two consecutive 0-16 seasons you get demoted to the CFL (I think thats how it works anyhow).

While our team is terrible year after year and we have never really won anything the fans hear are phenominal! IF we ever do go to the playoffs or win a superbowl this city will explode. I remember watching the "DEAD WINGS" as a kid, and my father saying I hope they win a cup before I die. I now feel the same way about the Lions.
