There really is nothing like being a Detroit Lions fan.

Before Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell came to turn things around the past few years, this franchise put their fans through decades of misery. They didn’t just lose games; they lost them spectacularly. They were the first 0-16 team in the history of the NFL. They had a head coach “take the wind” in overtime. They had another win just 13 games in three years. Before last year, they went 65 years — 65! — with just one playoff win. What other NFL franchise can say all that?

Most fans don’t choose Lions fandom; they’re born into it. Maybe you grew up in Michigan. Maybe your mom or dad passed the fandom down to you. Maybe you just love the team’s colors or mascot. No matter what, through all the ups and downs — mostly downs — you stuck by your team, hoping one day you could see it join the NFL’s elite and become a perennial Super Bowl contender.

That day has come. And what a journey it’s been to get here.

FROM JEFF SEIDEL: A death brought 2 Detroit Lions fans together. And then the team went above and beyond

Tell us your Lions story!

We want to hear the journey of your Detroit Lions fandom. How, and when, did you become a Lions fan? What is your favorite, or least favorite, memory watching games? Who’s your all-time favorite player? What’s the best game you ever attended? How did you cope during the tough times, and what does this current run of success mean to you? What would you do if the team went to the Super Bowl — and won it?

You can submit your story one of two ways:

• Call 313-222-2242 and leave a voicemail. After the greeting and beep, tell us your story, including your name, age and where you’re from. When you’ve finished your recording, you can hang up or press pound (#) for additional options, including reviewing your message (1), re-recording your message (2), or canceling your message (3).
• Record an audio or video clip of your story and submit it using this form. You’ll be prompted with a few questions, but it shouldn’t take more than a couple minutes to complete.

We plan to feature our favorite submissions on freep.com, our social media and podcast platforms, and in the newspaper. If you’d like to share a photo of yourself in your Lions gear as well, send us an email.

Thank you for telling us your Lions fan story!
