Justin- Any tips that you might send to fans coming out for training camp in the coming days/weeks? I love how you put out the new roofs on the stands…I melted last year under that sun. Coming up from KY for Monday’s practice with two young kiddos. Can’t wait to see this team.

This team just showing any outward signs of respect for the fanbase is appreciated—since Sheila took over it’s like night and day.

Love the covering- noticed that right away. BUT.. Did I see things correctly in the photo, are there now chairs instead of bleachers? That's pretty huge!

I love training camp, but that summer sun was brutal, especially in the morning when it rises over the facility.

It's a simple thing but the sun covering just shows that the Lions are listening to the fans. It shows that they do care. I mean it's a free event for the fans.

Happy to see the roof covering for the bleachers. That sun was hot last year. Excited to get out next week for training camp. Also looking forward to continued great info on this Substack!!

So thankful for the coverings! I got a terrible sunburn last year because I was unprepared for how much exposure there would be in the mid morning.

Those photos immediately made me think of episode one of the Jet's Hard Knocks last season with their practice facility. Curious if after the lines last year, if they used that as a blue print. And with the training camp tickets sold out almost immediately, curious if they add another set at the other endzone next offseason now that they have a sponsor and are committed to staying put.

It sure seemed like they pretty well use all of the field space that's out there. I don't think the coaches would be up for giving up any real estate.
