If you haven’t heard yet, the Detroit Lions are playing a game in Munich, Germany, this weekend. The team made the trip across the pond Thursday after practice, but many members of the media and the fanbase have already been in town for a few days, soaking up everything Munich and the surrounding areas have to offer. From scenic pictures of the nature outside the city, to the architecture, music, and food within, it looks like Lions fans are having a great time on their Fall vacations. This week has been fun following along with fans who made the trip.
However, for those of us who didn’t catch a flight to Germany, we are preparing for a whole new game day experience. And if you look at the schedule, this is technically a home game for Detroit, which dramatically changes things for those of us who attend the home games at Ford Field. For those who live outside of Southeast Michigan, it may not feel all that different, apart from the 9:30 am kickoff. Maybe you live on the West Coast, and you may have to set an alarm to ensure you are up for the start of the game.
That brings us to today’s question of the day:
What are your plans for the Lions’ international game against the New England Patriots?
My answer: I plan to make a big breakfast early in the morning for my family and a few friends to eat around 8:30 am, then lock in for kickoff as if it were an away game. Saturday morning we will head over to Gratiot Central Market, grab our necessary items for the breakfast feast, and hopefully get to bed early Saturday night so that smoker is fired up and ready to roll by 7:30 am Sunday morning. My only question is whether I will transition from coffee to a few Miller High Lifes before kickoff or not.
