Vikings Invest Nearly $2 Million in Tickets for Lions Showdown at Ford Field

In a strategic move to boost fan turnout and minimize the home-field advantage for the Detroit Lions, the Minnesota Vikings have purchased nearly $2 million worth of tickets for their upcoming game against the Lions at Ford Field. This significant investment encompasses around 1,900 tickets, which are intended to be resold to Vikings fans at discounted prices, thereby allowing a strong away crowd to infiltrate the stadium. Despite some backlash from Lions fans and the team, the NFL has deemed this tactic as a fair game. With ticket prices soaring and averaging over $500, many fans are now expressing disbelief over the rising costs and potential scams associated with securing tickets for this crucial matchup.
