@Shaw66I agree with everything you said. My Lions season ticket holder friend and I had dinner in Greektown after the game. On our way to the stadium, we ate at this place which is the oldest bar in Detroit, that serves German food. And it was amazing! It's the best bratwurst I've ever had in my life.
Sitting at the 10-yard line, 6 rows from the field, it was loud every time Buffalo had the ball. I agree it was louder at the beginning of the game, but down near the field, it was loud most of the time. No way Josh could verbally call an audible in the shotgun.
The lighting effects did make for an outstanding game presentation. They had high-powered Vari-lites over the sideline, in the middle of the field. That is what made for the sidelines to be lit up with the rest of the stadium dark.
Great write-up! It was an amazing time.
