Fun news for Lions fans. Detroit has announced nine training camp practices free for fans to come watch. We did this as kids and it is such a cool experience. So fans will still have to register for free tickets but only a maximum of four tickets per person because I feel like we forget the Lions are good. People want to go watch them in any way that they can. Registration starts July 16th. Three of those practices will be exclusive to Lions loyal members but they'll all be at Allen Park the first one will be Saturday July 27th with dates on July 29th 30th and 31st then also August 1st and 2nd 11th and 12th the final on August 14th. You can check the Lions website and how to get those tickets. >> For years it was just Bakeda and Buck Geno in Allen Park and now a whole bunch of people go to watch. >> I know it.

There was no need to buy tickets. >> What's cool as Smitty pointed out is they have a lot of fun activities as you're watching because it is just practice. >> This is very cool. >> You might get an autograph but there's all kinds of little things you can do. >> Who knew? >> Oh. >> I think it's great. >> Detroit Lions. >> The Lions fever.
