You couldn't have painted a better picture for Wednesday night's Detroit Lions practice at Novi High School. It was an absolutely gorgeous night for football and the weather was perfect. If you were on top of things, it was relatively easy to get yourself some free tickets to the practice, although it did sell out quite fast. According to Tim Twentyman, the attendance reached 7,200, which was a pretty solid turnout. My wife and I arrived about an hour before practice and struggled to find any space in the bleachers before finally settling in.
We waited for about 40 minutes before the players ran onto the field and practice began.
