First day in pads, full house of fans provided needed boost in Detroit Lions training camp

Dan Campbell wanted to give Detroit Lions fans a show.

Monday marked the first day in full pads at the Lions' training camp. It was also the first day the camp was completely open to the public. Previously, only season-ticket holders and VIP members could attend practice in Allen Park. Campbell was determined to make sure fans were satisfied with what they saw.

"(We're) excited and ready to go," the second-year head coach said of Monday's attendance. "To have the fans out there ... it gives you quite a bit of energy."

The Lions held multiple one-on-one, five-on-five and seven-on-seven drills Monday.
