Nov 25: Detroit Lions Thanksgiving game
The Detroit Lions might be the worst team in the NFL with a winless record, but their Thanksgiving matchup against the Chicago Bears might be the closest “winnable” game on their schedule. So it could be a chance to witness head coach Dan Campbell’s first career win. Also, if you are trying to avoid family during the holidays, your attendance might be the perfect excuse.

Dec 3: Dan + Shay
If rap and R&B don’t align with your tastes in music, go see Dan + Shay at Little Caesars Arena. The country pop duo has been prominent in the music industry since 2018 scoring with such hits as “Tequila,” “All to Myself” and “10,000 Hours.”
Dec 6: Polo G

Dec 11: Detroit Mercy men’s home opener
After a long stretch on the road, the Detroit Mercy men’s basketball team will need a breath of fresh air at Calihan Hall. Students get in for free so come support team during the home opener.
Dec 28: Houston Rockets vs. Pistons
Fans of the NBA will be closely monitoring the Pistons 2021 first overall draft selection, Cade Cunningham. However, Houston Rockets draft pick Jalen Green thinks he should have been drafted by the Pistons instead of Cunningham. He’ll have a chance to make his case against Detroit’s home crowd.
