Yeah, here's, here is the problem. And I'm going to do the Cosm thing and I hope it's wildly successful. Not for the Lions game. Oh no, I'm going to do it at the right price, a price that I can afford. But I'm looking at the, we just mentioned earlier in the show, we talked about the secondary market, the buy-in price for Lions Buffalo. It's the highest opener of the year. It's not opening weekend. It is Thursday night. A week from today, the Lions will play a Buffalo. But the highest, the buy-in price just to get in the building is $396. So you can go to the game in Buffalo and get in for $396. Prices will vary as the market fluctuates. The price at Cosm to watch that game is $605. So ultimately between driving and you might gas, any food you get, any beers you get,

driving to Buffalo and seeing the game live from a buy-in-level seat, which is not going to be good or watch it at Cosm. It's probably about the same price when you work in the total cost of the trip. But the Cosm experience, I want to know if it's that good. Right? I want a good test run on like going to some lesser college game that's going to cost you $30 to go check. Yeah, I mean, $30, absolutely would pay that. Get a beer from JB, the buy-in tender out there. But there's nothing like being in a game. Well, I mean, yes and no. I don't love going to games live. Okay. But I think my favorite thing to do now, as an adult, on the top of the list, near the top of the list, is go to the game and sit in the stands. It is so much more fun and carefree and I see why it's funny how when you're in the press box forever,

you go sit in the stands and you're like, what am I supposed to do? But I love it. I just love it. So this is where I'm curious about it, right? Because the screen is massive. It's this curved, spherical screen like you would get at the Spirin Vegas, many version of that. So you feel like you're kind of there, even though you know you're not, right? But the sound has to be ridiculous, ridiculously good. The seats, I mean, that's the difference right there. Is that the seats are better seats than you'll ever get at a stadium sitting in the crowd. The seat, they look amazing. So that makes it, okay, check plus in that column. And then the fact that you can just, you've got the bathrooms right there as opposed to, now I got to go up 50 flights of steps to get to and wait in line and a journal trough or whatever it is. You got your beer, your drinks are right there. They imagine their service and all this. I bet you it's pretty sweet. I have to imagine for it to sell out, like they would $605 for the dome for the Lions Bills game a week from tonight.

It's sold out. Wait, let's say general mission sold out. General mission is sold out. My back, my back. We may go to it and discover it's so great. We might be thinking they're not charging enough, which I doubt that's going to the case. But look, it's also brand new. So special events and they know that they're going to, they got diehard Lions fans that wanted to this and check it out. So the early returns, I mean, look, Sunday's game against the Saints, even though it's right across the street over there from from work, osm is. But it's a really good test run to see what the experience is going to be like from people. Or you can save all that money and just go watch it. Twin Peaks. No, anywhere else. Yeah. 248-539-9797 Rob is next on 97 one. Hello Rob. Gentlemen, how are you today? What's up? Hey, Bulldaz prediction. I think James and Williams is going to lead the NFC in receiving yards. I'm buying what the what the team is selling right now.

Rob, I can see it. I mean, it's a look, those, this league is filled with elite wide receivers. And I wouldn't be surprised if he has more receptions, maybe not more receptions, but I can see his yardage and all that far exceeding. Amara, Amara doesn't have as many deep routes, but yeah, Rob, I think he's poised to have a huge year. I don't think John Morton used him correctly. If you look at the stuff between like week one and week eight last year and week eight on or give or take the weeks there, Dan Campbell knew how to use them. And I think Drew pet things number one thing on his item list was find find ways to get him the ball more. Rob, we got you down 248-539-9797 Bulldaz predictions for the coming season. Mike is in Troy. Next. Hello, Mike. Hey gentlemen, great day today. I told you call, excuse me. Got Minnesota would need to division and then try to lions missing the playoffs.

Okay, I didn't quite catch it. Did you say Minnesota wins the division? Minnesota wins the vision with Kevin O'Connell son with Kirk Cousins and what he's done to Sam Donald. Now he'll do it with Colomore. They have ton of talent on that team and the Lions. The reason why they'll make the playoffs is because they're head coach. They have too much talent, but the head coach will fail on this year by making too many mistakes like he's been the last couple of years. And it's been a downhill cycle since the NFC championship game. Did you say that they're making it because because of what he did with Sam Donald? And what Kevin O'Connell has done to Sam Donald and what he's done for Kirk Cousins. Now he will do it with Tyler Murray. Didn't knew it. JJ McCarthy. They're Jamie Cousins, the third string quarterback. No, I don't agree with it. I mean, they drafted the first round. I mean, that's a nice.

No, we got you down. We got you recorded. Kang, what do you think of this one? What? The game wants to know if it's a borderline dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. What do you think, Doug? Because it was a double prediction. They both have to happen. Is that what he said? Yeah. Okay. The Lions missing the playoffs and the Vikings winning the division. I'll give it to him. I think that's fine. I mean, technically the Vikings beat the Lions twice last year. And the Lions were the last place teams. Look, I think the Lions are going to go 14 and three. So him saying I'll miss the division. I think it's bold. I don't think it's a, you know, it's not a given. I was going to override the dumb, dumb, dumb thing until Kang, you're reminded me that the Vikings did a very good. The worst court of the last year with JJ McCarthy and Max Broseberg. Yep. Oh, David's next. That actually happened. Yes, it did. Damn, they were on Christmas. Yes, it did.

Uh, David's next on 97 one. Hello, Dave. Hey, called about the cars on tickets. Yes. The prices are ridiculous. We went to Vegas and saw Chesney for 600 bucks. So to watch a Lions game for that kind of money, they're out of their mind. Well, uh, there are other things you can see there. I want to experience, I got mad. I'm not going to spend ever that big money 300 plus. Could I see myself spending $66 for an awesome Saturday night college football game like Ohio State of Texas? I could see myself doing it. I might not ever do it again, but I'm going to do it once for sure. But it does, it does seem rather exorbitant. I mean, you know, they're obviously the Lions game. The Lions game versus the Saints is not sold out. General mission is sold out. The haul is sold out, which is, I guess, just like the regular bar, which might be a cool sports bar. But the actual dome is not sold out. Yeah, it's one of those things.

I think like the spear where you got to watch where you sit, unless you sit in the front row for a hundred bucks and you got you know, scared the ceiling to see anything. It's just, I don't know. I don't ever see myself going unless it's a lot less expensive. Would you go to events in our less. Yes, like on the Monday night game, Brock goes chiefs, the dome is 22 bucks. Yeah, right. It's, it's, it's, would you do that? Yeah. It's number is pretty Troy. Well, it is pretty tripe. Would you go see another sport? Yeah. Uh, September 19th Florida state at Alabama, 22 bucks. So, yeah. I don't know about that. Yeah. Look, it's everybody gets inside what they do with their disposable. I'm customer right there. Yes. Yeah, 22 bucks. Do you want to see a premium college match? Yeah, I don't think about it. It's, it's price according to demand, guys. I'm not trying to, I'm not trying to. I'm not trying to. I'm not trying to. I'm not trying to. I'm trying to sell tickets here for the place. No.

No, but I'm, I'm, damn curious. No, but I'm telling you guys, the price is, so it's according to demand. And I think they're doing a good job because if you look at what's available, there's not much available, even at the high prices for the dome. So the one I brought up with was the bills game, where it's the lines, there's only three seats available. So there, it's not for everybody. Clearly, the price. Right. But it is for certain amount of people in a certain market and they're paying. You know, one of the things that the non, I always pitch about non-conference college football scheduling, but one of the things that they, the games against directional opponents provide sometimes great drama. But also they provide cheaper ticket alternatives for people who can't afford to just go see a big game. But you know, to be able to go to some of the cheaper stuff is, is good. And there are cheaper, cheaper alternatives here for people who want to utilize it. But not a surprise, most expensive events are indeed the most popular events.

248-539-9797, we took some NFL next, 971.
