Calling All Lions Fans: Dial Up the Roar on Radio!
So, the Detroit Lions are back in action, clawing their way to gridiron glory (hopefully), and you need the soundtrack to your Sundays (or Mondays, Thursdays... whenever they're playing). But with more radio stations than there are grains of sand on a Honolulu beach, where do you tune in to hear Dan Campbell's dulcet tones barking orders and the roar of the crowd? Fear not, intrepid Lions fan, for this guide will have you dialed in faster than Barry Sanders on a breakaway!
The Flagship Sails Again: 97.1 The Ticket (WXYT-FM)
That's right, folks! After a brief hiatus, the Lions have returned to their rightful home on the FM dial. 97.1 The Ticket is your one-stop shop for all things Lions radio, with play-by-play commentary, expert analysis, and sideline reports that'll have you feeling like you're practically on the field (minus the chance of getting trampled by a rogue offensive lineman).
Tip: Keep your attention on the main thread.
Beyond the Flagship: Where the Pride Roams
But maybe you're not in Metro Detroit, or your radio dial reception is about as reliable as a kicker with a case of the yips. Fear not!
