Blackout Watch: Bears @ Lions

Looks like they got the extension, so it sounds like it is going to be sold out. Thats good b/c we already suffer enough with a ****ty team let alone be robbed of our NFL football. I dont care so much about the lions being on TV I just want to see some FB.

I dont think this makes it "sound like its going to be a sell out" They still need someone during that extension to buy the tickets. Any news yet on who?

This is BS. The last game didnt look like it would sell out and so I went and bought some cheap tickets online, against my will as I swore I would never go to Ford field again till the old man is gone. Then it sold out and I could have stayed home. Now if I buy tickets to see it Im afraid it will sell out, negating the reason for purchasing tickets, watching the idiot Lions.

If it doesnt sell out I have 2 cedar point tickets Id better use before it closes for the year, I can go one day without Sunday ticket, maybe.

I was going to go to the game (a big Bears fan) and with the ticketmaster fees and the amount that the Lions want there is no way I can afford that.

don't know what I will do if it is blackout. Might get them them if they do get blacked out.

The NFL probably wouldnt extend them if they didnt have someone to buy the leftovers like they did last year.

I agree. They probably have a deal in place to sell the tickets. I really hope they don't though. I would love to hear about the first blackout in Ford Field History!

the nfl will give anyone the extension.. has no bearing on anything

they want the game on tv, they know if it isn't then they lose braodcasting area.

Im sure the lions told them that they have someone lined up to by what ever was left over tomorrow before the deadline.

Dude, just head down to the stadium right before the game starts ... people will be practically giving them away.
