A Thanksgiving Tradition, Detroit Lions Football

The 68th Annual Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Day Game!

Ah, Thanksgiving traditions:turkey, dressing, cranberrys, yams, pumpkin pie & football!

Thousands will head down to Ford Field to watch the Detroit Lions take on the first place Green Bay Packers on this 68th annual sold out Thanksgiving Day Game. Going down to the game is a Thanksgiving tradition for many in Michigan, and hopefully the Lions can shed this 2 game losing streak and win this very important game against the division rival Packers.

The half time show for this nationally televised game is always a big event. This years half time show will feature the Goo Goo Dolls! 

Whether you're eating deep fried turkey at a tail gate party or having a turkey dinner at home with the game on the tube, have a happy and safe Thanksgiving and GO LIONS!
