ALLEN PARK, MI (AP) --
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) - The Detroit Lions are honoring the
franchise's greatest players with a permanent display at Ford
Field.
The 12 charter members of Pride of the Lions will be recognized
Nov. 22 during a ceremony at halftime of Detroit's game against the
Cleveland Browns. Each is a member of the Pro Football Hall of
Fame.
The display will be featured on the stadium's south side
formerly occupied by the Hudson's department store warehouse. It
will include the players' names, jersey numbers and years played
with the Lions.
Club President Tom Lewand says the names of other Detroit greats
will be added to the Pride of the Lions exhibit in the future.
