Which Detroit Lions home game are you most looking forward to?
The Detroit Lions’ 2025 schedule is out, and earlier this week we asked which road game would be the best to attend. The road schedule is pretty gnarly, in every definition of that road. Not only do Lions fans have he opportunity to see some iconic stadiums like Arrowhead or The Linc, but there are some pretty exciting primetime games being played away from home.
But there’s nothing like a Lions game at Ford Field. In the past few years, it’s been one of the toughest places to play, and the stadium finally has some serious character to it. Even now just typing about it, I get goosebumps thinking about the home opener against the Chicago Bears and just how excited 65,000+ Lions fans are going to be.
So today’s Question of the Day is:
Which Lions home game would be best to attend in 2025?
My answer: Obviously, I plan on attending all of the home games this year, but the one I’m looking forward to the most is either the home opener against the Bears or the Thanksgiving bout with the Packers.
For the home opener, I know that crowd is going to be rowdy and have Bears coach Ben Johnson in their crosshairs. I think the Lions will have a pretty big advantage in this game, with the regime in Chicago still being so new and figuring everything out. So, it could get ugly… in a good way. And if the Lions open the season with a win over the Packers, going 2-0 in the division to start the year is a great way to kick off the 2025 campaign.
But there are few feelings better in Lions fandom than winning on Thanksgiving and beating the Packers. Detroit has the opportunity to do both this year, and I still want revenge for that ugly 2023 game on Thanksgiving in which Jordan Love absolutely torched the Lions defense, and Jared Goff was running for his life. That game still sticks out as a huge outlier for this team over the past two years, and I’d love to see them right that wrong.
