Mine was on Thanksgiving in 1995 against the Vikings at the Silverdome. The Lions won in a shootout 44 - 38 and had to defend a hail Mary on the last play of the game, Herman Moore was on the field for that play.
I’d won the tickets from Ike Griffith’s show on WDFN 1130 am. Known as the Mega Man, there was a section dedicated to him in the end zone complete with black and red poster cards and t-shirts. It was a great game but a nightmare getting home and setting up Thanksgiving dinner so I said I’d never go on Thanksgiving again and I didn’t…until 2016 when I went to Ford Field and saw wait for it…the Lions beat the Vikings, which was another nail biter!
Anyway, what was yours?
My first game I don’t really remember much. My uncle helped some of lady cross the street and she randomly gave us tickets, but the game was starting soon and was at the silverdome.
It was vs the giants and they were up maybe 28-0 at halftime. And my uncle said ok let’s leave, so we drove all the way out there missed half the first quarter and left at half time.
My first game I actually remember everything was home opener in 08 vs packers, environment got me hooked and even though it was a blowout it was close until about 4 minutes to go when I think it was back to back pick 6s.
The energy IS amazing!
