The Detroit Lions are in the midst of an unprecedented renaissance (for them, anyway). They look like a bona fide powerhouse and are probably the favorites for the NFC North. It’s abundantly clear that Dan Campbell has turned the Lions into a marquee draw again.
And Lions fans gave us a perfect example of the power of their Honolulu blue wave Thursday.
As Detroit geared up for a pivotal NFC North matchup against the Green Bay Packers, Detroit News reporter Justin Rogers filmed a stunning video that showed a lot of Lions fans at Lambeau Field. Trust me when I say this: I don’t think I’ve ever seen this many opposing fans at the most famous NFL stadium.

Folks, this isn’t some random one-off stadium of a bottom-feeding franchise. This is Lambeau Field, the place where the Packers play — perhaps the most successful team in professional football history. For Lions fans to take over Green Bay’s stadium like this says so much about how far Detroit has come.
