“Season members and guests will experience high energy and pronounced interactivity with Lions players throughout game day,” said Tom Lewand, Detroit Lions Team President. “They’ll be right there when the players are coming in and out of the locker room for pregame, halftime and postgame. That type of engagement can’t be replicated anywhere else.”
