The Detroit Lions have added another partner this time to improve the game day experience and its TV network. The Lions recently announced a partnership with Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort ahead of the 2024 season.
As part of the partnership, Soaring Eagle will present the “Inside The Den” television show and the new weekly show “Inside The Pride” on the new Lions TV Network.
“Soaring Eagle Gaming is honored to join forces with the Detroit Lions in a multiyear partnership that will bring excitement to Lions fans,” Soaring Eagle Gaming CEO Melinda Coffin said in a joint press release. “Soaring Eagle Gaming is eager to bring excitement to fans with our support of Power Hour, our Fan Cave experience, and gaming-related offers from all of our properties.”
In addition to the shows, they will also be sponsoring Power Hour at Ford Field on Lions game days. Power Hour is a fan event during the first hour after gates open, it offers a variety of game day experiences as well as discounted food and beverages for fans in attendance.
Power Hour will continue to include Spin It to Win It and Roar-aoke, but it will now include prizes supplied by Soaring Eagle. Some of those prizes are a free night’s stay, concert tickets, resort credit, free play, and more. It will also include a new Fan Cave on the 300-level of the concourse.
It’s the third betting partnership for the Lions having previously announced partnerships with WynnBet and BetMGM.
