PHOTOS: See how Sterling Heights turned out in support of the Detroit Lions
Photographer David Lewinski captures the scene at some of Sterling Heights' most enthusiastic watering holes as fans watched the Detroit Lions play in the NFC Championship game.
For all of our own efforts at community building, there are few things that bring a region together more than a championship run from one of our major sports teams. And though they came up two quarters short of making it to the Super Bowl, the Detroit Lions proved that theory once again — with gusto. Their appearance in the NFC Championship game of the NFL Playoffs, and increasingly so with every week that preceded it, lit a fire under metro Detroit, banding together generations of fans and non-fans alike.
As one might expect, the sports bars of Sterling Heights were lit up on the night of Sunday, Jan. 28. So, too, was The Halo, which the City of Sterling Heights lit up in blue and white in honor of the Lions and their big playoff run. We sent photographer David Lewinski to some of the city’s most enthusiastic watering holes to document the big night.
We’ll get ’em next year.
