For the first time this year, Detroit Lions' training camp is open to fans, as the team welcomes season-ticket holders to Allen Park to watch the fourth practice of camp. Though pads will not come on until Monday, this is a fresh opportunity for Lions fans to see how different the team looks, get a sense of the rapidly shifting culture, and maybe even catch the eye of the “Hard Knocks” crew on hand.
Another benefit of a live audience is that the people in the Lions media are permitted to live tweet practice when fans are in the stands.
