Send me a PM and I’d be glad to help. I’m stepping into a meeting but I’ll stop back in this evening.
Watch the potholes and don’t get shot!
I think the Raiders game is your best bet. You will still get to see some fall foliage while the temps are still “okay.” By the time the T-Day comes around, I can’t imagine a Californian finding it very appealing. The skies will be grey, the leaves will have fallen off, it will be cold and windy, etc.

If anyone is wearing a ski mask, don’t worry they are just harmless Lions fans. Nothing to be concerned about.

Unless that’s all they’re wearing. Then you should probably be alarmed a bit…….the only exception being Wendy’s drive thru. Then it’s normal.

The Potholes are a legitimate thing, so don’t just read over that post…
Personally I would stay in Hilton Garden Inn on Sheridan st near Plymouth. Great bars, restaurants, bars, bars, restaurants and bars. But that was my go to when I travelled there every month.
Do NOT get into the hot dog debate…Yesterdogs in GR is the best never mind the Coney, vs whatever else you are told ignore them.

My wife is from Michigan (duh!). She co-signed on my post about how attending a game in October will be noticeably different than attending a game in late November. And she also supported your post that Yesterdogs is better.

Yesterdogs are WAY better
I wonder how many Wendys drive throughs they have in Kansas City.
I asked Siri but she didn’t know. Sorry man I tried. Lol
Been there and I do not see the hype and they don’t use Kogels and any dog not using Kogels sucks.
Flint Style Coneys are better in my opinion.

Are we talking actual potholes or the dumps from the homeless?
That’s funny because I went thru the Wendy’s drive thru when we were in KC for the game.

This post was my go-by for my second game at Ford Field. Severalposters had helpful advice.
Greektown casino and hotel is a great place to stay. Did Buddy’s for Pizza. Did the Henry Ford museum. Did the GoldenFleece for Greek food – excellent!
If you are a gambler as you say you are, wait until two minutes before the game to purchase your tickets and you will save a ton of money.
Oh, and found out that the Lions have the most lame fight song that I thankfully had never heard before.

Mah Sweetie was raised in Flint, thinks the same.
Koegels are awesome. Its about the steamed bun and shredded picklee+the chili sauce. I would rank Flint coneys a strong #2
Also was born and raised in Flint. Remember when I transferred to Troy and ordered a coney and said, “What’s this shit?”. I’ve since learned to enjoy both. Anything but Koegal is second tier or lower.

Hotdogs topped with loose meat is garbage.
I was standing in a long line at Home Depot one time in Burton Michigan to purchase a hot dog. They used to sell them in the entry and the line had about 30 people in it who had been standing in line for some time and I get to the front of the line and ask “Are these Kogels” …. The guy at the stand replies “Kogels… No what’s a Kogel?” …. I say never mind and start to walk away and the entire line dissolves quickly and hot dog guy screams …. I was just joking I was just joking of course they are Kogels to which another buyer says … yeah never mind you don’t joke about Kogels and this entire line empties…. A hotdog isn’t a hotdog unless it’s a Kogel.

It blows my mind that it is still being played. My wife just found out about it this year, and she was SO CONFUSED when she heard it. 
As you found out, you kinda have to be at the games to really hear it and understand how lame it is. When watching on TV you can’t really hear it other than the big GO LIONS at the end. Which doesn’t sound so bad when its just that part.
Be sure to get the right condiments as well.
