I'm going to the game! Maybe we can organize a mob and chase Millen out of town with sticks.
Why in the world would anyone go to a Lions game? Save your signs, orange shirts, paper bags, etc., and stay away. Save your money. If you already purchased tickets a long time ago, I have to ask, "Why?" The Lions have never been able to do anything right, and the only thing that will send a true message is empty seats. That same person trying to get his paper bag in the stadium is still going to be present for the game, purchasing $8.00 (warm) beers, buying food, paying for parking, etc. It's kind of like saying, "We 45,000 people aren't going to stand for this anymore. Now excuse us while we go spend $150 each at your stadium."
I actually used to go to games 4 or 5 times a year and since I moved out west I used to fly home at least once a year to see a game. No more. I thought the big downside of living in California was going to be not getting to see them more then once a year. Not so much anymore. I'm still a fan of the team, but like being a red wings fan years ago I just have low expectations.
Well at least, security didnt threaten to arrest them. Last year I witnessed two of the The Parking Lot Attendant's (thugs)..errr security at Dodger Stadium threaten to arrest two teenagers, who did the old paper bag over the head, if they didnt hand them over. The kids complied, so I didnt see if security would actually follow through on the treat. The kids said security had informed them that it was a public safety issue. I have a feeling this was a result of the $2 Tuesdays promo riot-fiasco.
Why do you think they call it the (NFL) No Fun League !!!

As bad as the Lions have (in my lifetime) been I don't understand why fans should stop supporting the team. Hate on a GM, coach, player or cheerleader, don't buy game tix or the overpriced stadium crap. Otherwise you just become a fair weather fan.
When brown paper bags are criminalized only criminals will have brown paper bags.
geekyguy, that is so true. And it's easy to tell people to just stop caring about their team, but if you feel the need to go, no one's going to convince you different. My sincere condolences to all you Lions fans. This as-the-stomach-turns has to end one of these years.
I'm loving the "Fire Millen" signs that are popping up other places, like at an MSU basketball game, or behind the penalty box of the Wings/Thrashers game in Atlanta last week. I thought I saw one in the crowd during the Iraq elections, also... =D Call me a fair-weather fan if you must, but I have given up on these Lions. Until Millen is fired, or Ford sells the team, or both, I will not support them. Why should I, when they show no signs of wanting to put a decent team on the field?
man the brown paper bag thing. i remember in the early 90s when the pats were real bad, we looked like a giant lunch table
