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.
This is how Twitter reacted
I’ve got no beef with the Packers, but it’s a well-deserved turn of play for a team that takes over every other building in the league. https://t.co/z9tZKL6KS0

If it wasn't for the yellow, I probably would've just assumed it was a Lions home game tonight https://t.co/tZZOMFqCh0
