Sheila Hamp Delivers Heartwarming Message About Lions Fans in Germany
The Detroit Lions may be preparing for a major international matchup, but their supporters have already made a statement in Munich.
Lions principal owner and chair Sheila Hamp was among the people celebrating with Detroit fans at the famous Hofbräuhaus on Saturday, November 14. The gathering was part of the team’s activities ahead of Sunday’s Week 10 showdown against the New England Patriots.
Hamp joined the celebrations and tapped a keg as hundreds of Lions supporters filled the venue. The crowd responded with loud chants of “Let’s go Lions,” creating an atmosphere that clearly impressed the team’s owner.
Speaking about the turnout, Hamp admitted that the number of Detroit supporters who travelled to Germany was far greater than she had expected.
“They are everywhere in the streets. I feel so incredible. Our fans are the best,” Hamp said.
She also explained that seeing planes full of Lions supporters before arriving in Munich had given her an idea of what to expect, but the actual experience exceeded anything she had imagined.
And Hamp was not finished making headlines.
When asked about Sunday’s game at Allianz Arena, she expressed confidence in the team and predicted that Detroit supporters would make their presence felt inside the stadium.
“I’m totally excited. Dan (Campbell) has everyone ready and we’re ready. We’re going to take over the stadium,” she said.
Hamp’s comments reflect the excitement surrounding the Lions’ international appearance. The organization has spent the week bringing Detroit’s football culture to Munich through fan events and appearances by former Lions stars, including Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson.
For a franchise whose supporters have followed the team through plenty of difficult seasons, seeing such a large crowd travel overseas is a special moment.
Now, the attention turns to the field. The Lions will have an opportunity to reward those travelling supporters with a strong performance against New England.
The blue wave has arrived in Munich. The question now is whether Detroit can make the occasion even more memorable with a victory.
