Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell was so impressed by the fan environment for the team’s opening preseason game agianst the New York Giants, he had to start his Monday press conference by giving them some love.
“Our fans were unbelievable the other night,” Campbell said. “I mean for a preseason game—you saw when your young players and rookies out, ‘Hey man, it’s the first one, NFL game, and it has to be a pretty good atmosphere.’ But, my god, I didn’t expect that. I don’t think any of them did. That’s unbelievable. That’s a packed house for a preseason, so it was awesome.
