You're in luck.
According to an email I got this morning the Lions are repeating this ultimate Lions fan VIP road trip from last year, and are even scaling things up to offer a choice among three road games. There's an obvious typo in the departure date for game C, clearly should be Fri Oct
18th.
Cost is $999 plus applicable taxes, up $200 from last year's package. Looking back at SammyGreene's comment in the original post of this thread, I think he was too clever by half. Maybe we oughtn't give them any further ideas! lol

Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.
