Detroit Lions fans invaded enemy territory again vs. the Arizona Cardinals. Here are some sights and sounds from the Lions fan takeover.
Arguably one of the best storylines to come out of the Detroit Lions’ culture turnaround is the sea of Honolulu blue you can now spot at away games.
Detroit fans are now drawing attention for their support on the road in ways we really haven’t seen in the past (can’t imagine why.) In my opinion, it really started turning heads starting with the 2023 NFL season opener — the Lions at Kansas City Chiefs. Detroit was in the spotlight on primetime, and the world noticed all the blue in Arrowhead Stadium.
The trend continued into this season, of course. Glendale, Arizona is nearly 2,000 miles away from Detroit, but that didn’t stop droves of fans from showing up to support their squad. Here are some sights and sounds from the big win, in order from pregame festivities to postgame celebrations.

- Nothing but respect for my field position optimization specialist.
This is such a great point. @MrJackFox was incredible today and has been all year. Dan Campbell told me this week he was “one of the most clutch players I’ve ever been around.” https://t.co/F5ouBu4tTu

- Just something funny I saw over the weekend from former Lions QB turned analyst whom I’m sure you know well by now.
