future site of a Lions game……
.
Seeing the pics of the stadium… makes me wonder how crazy some future stadiums could be built.
For example… Levi’s Stadium has terrible shade/sun issues… but they could have built a huge 15 story tall side of luxury boxes… and that would have eliminated the sun in the eyes of players.
After seeing the Rams enormous canopy…
I am curious to see what kind of monster buildings are constructed with the explosive growth in revenue.
That’s not San Francisco but no one knows where Santa Clara is and half the country can’t pronounce San Jose.
Well… TBF… nobody ever called us the Pontiac Lions before Ford Field was built.
At least they’re in the right state…
The difference is that Santa Clara is adjacent to San Jose which is a larger city than San Francisco. Also, Pontiac is part of the Detroit Metro Area while Santa Clara is part of the San Jose Metro Area.
C’mon… Ford Field is 30 miles from the Silverdome site.
Levi’s is 36 miles from the Candlestick Stadium site.
They certainly aren’t going to rename the team for a 36 mile move…
Ford Field is downtown Detroit. Candlestick is basically SFO or barely within the city limits. I used to live out by the ocean and to get to candlestick was a 30 to 45 minute drive. Granted it wasn’t so much the distance as much as Candlestick was really out of the way.
I never went to a Niner Game but I’ve been to hundreds of Giants games there. I hear it was better for football, but it was a lousy park for baseball. SF weather is actually better during football season than it is for baseball, especially at night.
And if Ford Field was in Allen Park….
or anywhere south of Detroit…
nobody would care.
The NEW YORK Giants and the NEW YORK Jets…
both play in New Jersey….
And before you ask, I’ve always hated the Niners. Living there when they won the Superbowl was its own kind of torture. When they didn’t miss a beat going from Montana to Young was just unfair.
Referring to the New Jersey, New York Jets, I assume?
Is Baltimore in New England?
I don’t follow… what does Baltimore have to do with the Patriots?
Yes. And New England was always a but weird to me, why not just say Boston? They play in the middle of nowhere just north of the Rhode Island border. Absolutely miserable place to see a game.
the Kraft family also called their product “cheese”…
even though it is fake cheese… so they have no issue stretching the truth… 
He also called a handjob a massage lol
you say tomatoh… Kraft says “that’s the spot”…. 
He identified as being in Thailand!
I am reminded of a Mitch Hedberg joke:
“I was on a bus once, it was in the middle of the night, and I had a box of crackers and a can of Easy Cheese. It was dark, and it was a surprise how much cheese I had applied on each cracker. That’s why they should have a glow-in-the-dark version of Easy Cheese. It’s not like the product has any integrity to begin with. If you buy a room-temperature cheese that you squeeze out of a can, you probably won’t get mad because it glows in the dark too.”
One of things on design is that home side is basically a wall of suites
But the angle of sun it would need to go really high to block it out.
It’s actually a bit brutal on a hot sunny day
Agreed… it’s like they designed it to maximize the suites… and completely disregarded the effect on the playing field with shadows…. and the “common folk” opposite of the luxury suites are left to bake in the sun.
