It pays to be the boss. Or perhaps, in this situation, you must pay if your team is the boss.
The Detroit Lions are, for a change, entering the season with real expectations. It's something the team has fully embraced, much like the fans have fully embraced this Lions squad.
That embracing will come with a slightly higher cost this year, however — if you're in the market for a Lions ticket, prepare to open your wallet.
Yes, inflation is real, and it has never been cheap to attend professional sporting events, but the cheapest ticket for any Lions game this season at Ford Field will cost at least $100, and that's if you are willing to make sacrifices.
