2023 Detroit Lions training camp record may stand for a while
In what has proven to be an exhilarating summer in the Motor City, the Detroit Lions have managed to set an impressive training camp attendance record. As reported by Kory Woods of MLive, the Lions have set a new benchmark by averaging nearly 3,000 fans each day during their open practices. This unprecedented turnout has overshadowed past records, cementing 2023 as a training camp to remember.
Lions Roaring Ahead
The swell of enthusiasm isn't just restricted to the Detroit Lions training camp sidelines. For the first time since the 1993 season, when the NFC North was known as the NFC Central, the Lions are the favorites to clinch the division title.
