I would personally like to go to this and document it on film. With the passion that Lions fans have it would be hillarious to capture the moment, as disappointing as it may be. The details of the event do sound both interesting and fun though.

However, staying at home and enjoying some spirits with the company of family and friends sounds fun too.
