ALLEN PARK, MI (AP) --
      ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) - The Detroit Lions are getting creative
to persuade fans to watch a team coming off the NFL's first 0-16
season.
      The team says Wednesday it will sell individual tickets starting
Aug. 27.
      Hungry fans can buy all-you-can-eat tickets for as little as $57
and chow down on unlimited quantities of hot dogs, bratwursts,
chips, popcorn, nachos and soft drinks.
      A "Super 3-Game Pack" promotion features games against
defending champion Pittsburgh, runner-up Arizona and St. Louis.
      The Lions have been selling season tickets for as cheap as $30
per game.
      Detroit's first exhibition game is Saturday at Ford Field
against Atlanta. The home opener is Sept. 20 against Minnesota.
