That's gonna drive fans to the game and generate a ton of local fan loyalty for the NFL in an area with 15%+ unemployment and an awful team.

Yeah it was blacked out. Pissed me off. I went to Detroit that weekend to visit the in-laws. Thought I was going to the game, last minute and plans changed. So I thought oh well, I'll just watch it on tv. And wouldn't you know it...for the first time in who knows how long the game was blacked out in Detroit! Got to watch the Chiefs instead
