I heard that residents of Detroit are upset the Jets are making an unscheduled appearance in their city. They're worried about the negative cultural influence and have complained to NFL officials over insufficient lead time for remedial preparations. Parent and school associations also have urged the Lions not to distribute free game tickets to anybody under 21. This could get messy.
Someone should inform the residents of Detroit that there are few Jets fans who will realize that the game has been moved, few of those who will realize when it will be played, fewer still who will be able to navigate the ticketing process, only a few of them who will be able to find Detroit, and then fewer still who will be able to find the stadium. Plus, rather than driving to Buffalo, they will need to fly to Detroit, and many won't have ever done that before. It is TSA that should be concerned.
By the time the population of "traveling" Jets fans works its way through these filters, there will only be three or four of them that make it. Detroit's SUV unit should be able to follow each of them to protect against crime.
