    Did they make more single-game ticketed seats available, is that why?

    "One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir

      It is worse than that, Lions fans actually believe.

        The Lions didn't sell out in the 50s when they were dominant and the city was huge and wealthy?

          It’s actually the first time in Ford Field history, so 21 years.

          I can’t find any actual history the last time they were sold out (yay SEO for ruining google), and a few internet comments have conflicting stories. One says there was a wait list the entire Silverdome era, another says he got tickets in the Silverdome with no wait. Another says they had to wait until the 2nd or 3rd season at FF for tickets, which would’ve implied selling out for at least the first season. So either they had fewer tickets held for season tickets in the Silverdome despite a larger capacity, or no one remembers anything correctly.

            The NFL wasn't all that big in the 50s. People forget that. College football was bigger than the NFL for a very, very long time.

                  Even I want to drink the Kool-Aid this season. I haven't been this excited about the Lions since Barry played and I didn't know any better. Ah youth, sigh. ;-)

                    Heck, wasn’t big in the late 70s!!!

                    there is a YouTube channel that pieces together broadcasts in full (8-10hrs long (yes mookie watches)).
                    stands are half empty. Chiefs, packers, chargers, etc. MMMM-TTTTT

                        That’s why they had those TV blackout rules during those years.

                          Saw a map of the Packers preseason TV networks and thought it was odd Alaska was on there. Then looked up the other games and apparently Alaska and Hawaii just get like half the league televised. Seattle, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Rams, Chargers, Raiders in AK this week, Hawaii gets about the same plus the Colts, Chiefs, Eagles, Niners.

                            Kinda miss the old days when you could walk up to the box office on game days and get pretty good seats.
                            A bad cause requires many words.

                              So one of the running backs finally signed. Wonder if this means more of them will. Horrible time to be a running back- short career, where most of it comes under a rookie deal, and then rookies can fill most of the veteran hole for a fraction of the cost.
