Any Detroit area people here?

Because the Lions suck, they have some mainstream sports bars (like Champps) that give you all the games at once. I prefer to just watch at home, but actually, I went to a bar near my house two years ago for Campbell's first start, and it was pretty nice.

You'll be surprised just how many Skins fans will make that day trip to Ford Field.. I may join them again, but it depends how my finances break down over the next month and a half. Don't be shocked if the Lions and Redskins are both 2-0 heading into that game. You'll look like a freakin genius for buying the tix when you did.

Yeah; it wasn't even worth bringing my car up here (not to mention I have fines to pay off before I can drive again) so I guess if I went down there I'd have to ride with a friend or take the bus. I'm really only like 11 miles away and don't even have to hit 75 or 94 so when I get my bike I can ride too, I would ride from South Charlotte to Midtown and Uptown at least once a week and that was 17 miles each way, so 11 will be easy, especially since it's relatively flat here.

I'll probably be buying the tickets as soon as I can afford them. I don't know how walk-up sales are or scalping.. and paying 100 bucks for a lower level ticket is a great damn deal in my opinion. If you make it to the game we should do some tailgating. I don't know how far out you are or what obligations you have but I'll leave my couch open if Grand Rapids is a bit out.

Might go see the O's when they're in town at the beginning of August.
