Detroit Lions Tickets

The Detroit Lions are a Detroit, Michigan based National Football League team that plays in the National Football Conference North Division and was established in 1929. The Lions first started out in Portsmouth, Ohio as the Portsmouth Spartans as an Independent Professional Team. In 1930 the Spartans formally joined the NFL and was one of the NFL's smallest cities. So in 1934 the team was relocated to Detroit and changed the name to the Detroit Lions. In the 1950's the Western Division was renamed the National Conference, and then in 1953 they changed to the Western Conference Central Division. This remained until 1970 when the National Football Conference was named and then the Loins played on the NFC Central Division until 2002 when they changed to the NFC North Division. The team colors are Honolulu Blue, Silver, Black and White as they have remained for many years. Before you head to a game be sure to brush up on Gridiron Heroes the fight song as sung by Theo "Gridiron" Spight and of course Roary the Lion will be assisting too. The Lions call Ford Field home since they moved here in 2002 from their former home at the Pontiac Silverdome.
