  1. Let's hope for a good signal tonight!
    "The recent Ford Field renovation included installation of a state-of-the-art WiFi system, which officials hope will eliminate the clogged signals so frustratingly familiar to mobile users at big gatherings. The system has been rolled out during the Lions' preseason games, with some kinks, and continues to be tweaked."
  2. How's GA line looking ?
  3. There isn't one. They're handing out numbered wristbands and telling people to come back at 3:45. I assume the expectation is that 1000 people are going to put themselves in order in the parking lot at that point? There's also a "fan line" somewhere that was allowed to exist because some racist dude threatened to sue the venue for discrimination on twitter if his list that he started 10 days ago wasn't accepted.

    So things are going pretty well so far!
  4. More evidence that U2 need to get control of the GA line
  5. Absolutely. This is a mess so far and I feel it can only get worse once everyon with a wristband comes back to the gate. It's really baffling how poorly organized this is.

    Plus it sounds like there is another GA line off site ?
    Shambles
  7. Amazes me how some of the "VIP" fans always get front rail yet turn up in pristine condition , not like they've camped out for the last 24/36/48 hours
  8. Who knows? Ford Field initially said they wouldn't be honoring any other lines. Then yesterday they said the fan line check in would happen that day. But an hour or so ago the guy running the fan line said he'd be filing a lawsuit against the venue for discrimination on Tuesday because his line wasn't honored. So there's really no telling what's going on with that.

    Doesn't get more america than that. Lawsuits over (lack of good) GA policies.

    True , just I saw a well known VIP in Brussels recently (won't mention names) who wasn't in the GA yet strolled to front rail looking immaculate. Seems to me a lot of work to be done to make GA fair for all
