Whether they were the Lions fans or the Rams followers when Eminem came up on the jumbotron, they could not help themselves but join in.
The historic Lions playoff game had a phenomenal attendance. They brought it home for the first time in 30 years, and the 65,000-seat Ford Field sports arena was filled to the bream. Eminem, the long-life Detroit Lions supporter, was there, and the video stream cut off on him quite often. Nobody was offended, though, as he represented resilience and dedication transcending geographical bounds.
Ryan Fields, an NBC lead sports anchor hailing from Detroit, posted a video from the game on his social media, showing the unity of thousands around the epic anthem, “Lose Yourself”.
Remember, last autumn, we used stadiums to measure Marshall’s daily gains in followers? This is it. This is how it looks.
