Sunday's game in Detroit is the most expensive divisional round ticket ever
Detroit fans haven’t seen a divisional round playoff game in 32 years, and they’re willing to pay a pretty penny to be there on Sunday.
The average ticket price on the secondary market for Sunday’s Buccaneers-Lions game is $1,186, according to TickPick.com. That blows away any price for any divisional round playoff game, ever.
The highest-priced divisional round game previously was last year’s 49ers-Cowboys game in Dallas at $605, or about half the price of this year’s Lions game, according to Kyle Meinke of MLive.com.
Currently the cheapest seat available anywhere inside Ford Field on Sunday is more than $700.
Sunday night’s Rams-Lions game was also the most expensive wild card round ticket ever. Lions fans made their voices heard in that game, and have been credited with the fact that the Rams blew two timeouts in the second half because they couldn’t get their plays called in time to avoid a delay of game penalty. Lions fans are hoping to give their team a similar home-field advantage this week.

Chickens, geese found at vacant home after nonprofit reports them stolen
Chickens and geese that went missing from a local nonprofit’s Detroit site were found in the backyard of a nearby home, the director of operations said Wednesday.
The Full Circle Foundation, a Grosse Point Park-based nonprofit, said more than a dozen chickens and geese were believed stolen from a chicken coop on Detroit’s east side that also features the Full Circle Edible Garden.
The nonprofit provides training and job opportunities for young people with special needs.
Neighbors who learned from news reports about the missing flock found the “chickens were being held in the backyard of a vacant home not far from the Full Circle Edible Garden,” said Stephanie DiVirgil, director of operations. She said Ribbon Farm 4-H owns the flock.
“The homeowner was contacted, and she reached out to Full Circle to confirm,” said DiVirgil. “We were able to retrieve all of the chickens and geese that were found on the property, 19 in total.”
The foundation and Ribbon Farms 4-H are working to secure the site, including cameras, fencing and lights.
“We will likely start a fundraising campaign to have these items installed,” DiVirgil said. “We’ve gotten amazing support from the community, including offers to help pay for these additional security measures.”
