- During last night's game, Mike Tirico zeroed in on one special fan in the stands at Ford Field. Ben Capp from Grosse Pointe has been a Detroit Lions season ticket holder for 66 years. Last night he saw in person that 30-plus year drought come to an end.
If the lions go to the Super Bowl, get this man flights, hotels, and tickets to that game
and sky box tickets with executives
Next to Eminem and Megatron
He could more than afford his own tickets😂
@@emmanuelporte4201Barry Sanders too.
@@tiberianexcaliburyes but why not, guarantee the team will get him in the sky box
His mind is so sharp for being 89 years young. What an incredible human!!
89 years *young* indeed. What a guy.
From being a soldier to being a Detroit Lion's fan. What a hero.
I know this man must feel the relief of water after decades of drought.
Huge win!! happy for the lions, the state, and the people who showed up. Can't imagine this mans emotions being loyal for this long, go Lions!
He is correct in every respect. Well done Sir. One Pride.
I was definitely wondering who this guy was while I was watching the game! So freaking heartwarming! Time for another one at home this week, Ben!!! You look GREAT for 89 by the way!
66 years this guy needs a ring if we win
I remember meeting and talking with Mr. Capp when I had season tickets at the Silverdome in the mid 90's.
Ben, if you're seeing this, thank you for your service. To both this nation and to the Lions. Signed, a Jets fan.
Mr. Benjamin has seen his beloved Lions play at 3 stadiums. Tiger Stadium, the Silverdome, and Ford Field. I'm so happy for the recognition, Mr. B is receiving and well deserved.🏆🏈💙
I am a Dolphins fan, but I am so happy for the Lions getting this far. I want the Lions to win the Superbowl for this man alone.
Lions and dolphins fans have the two best coaches in the league imo.
@@heavymetalmusichead4969 Dan Campbell was a H.C. for the Dolphins
From greg landry to barry sanders to 0-16. This man has seen it all. Glad he gets to see the lions win a playoff game
That seems like a long time to me.... Congratulations on your 89 and 66 and other anniversary's.. 👨🏻🔧 🚣🏿♂️ life is but a 🧖🏽♂️ dream. 💙
Great story! A good manager knows how to get the very best from his workers. Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes are at the tip of the sword.
Do it for him fellas
He was a spry 57 when the Lions last won a playoff game.
He can’t stop smiling … so fucken good
Detroit Lion’s Fans - it’s a Heart & Soul thing. So happy for Detroit Lions and all those loyal fans. 🏈 Congratulations.
Bless you Ben! I'm 65, and born in Detroit, so I've only seen two Lions playoff victories. I'm hoping for number 3 today against TB.
Congrats! Go all the way!
Cowboy fan
I hope I’m in as good of shape as he is when I’m 89!
I’m a Giants fan and I think we’re all rooting for the Lions to win it ALL. Let’s go Lions!
Bro this guy is 89 years old. He is in amazing shape
This man has seen horrors beyond our wildest comprehension
Ben Capp should have a front row seat this Sunday... @LIONS
#OnePride #AllGrit
Loyalty deserves recognition
this dude reminds me of my Grandpa a lot
They need to give that man better seats.
If the Lions go to the Superbowl, somebody has got to invite this super fan to attend the game.
dude's been a fan of a snakebitten franchise like the Lions for twice as long as i've been alive. Mega respect to him.
#SoNICE to see SUCH a LOMG-RIME, DEDICATED fan FINALLY receive his DUE!! #OnePride!
It is nice to know his story…not a Loins fan but my team is out of it. Will be pulling for the Lions 🦁 for this playoff run.
Who's your team? My team (Denver) didn't even make the playoffs. My NFC team (Vikings) didn't, either. I'd really like to see Detroit win the SB. They're probably going to have to go through San Francisco, though. You know that will be tough. I will be pulling for TB against Detroit. Being an OU fan, I love Mayfield.
Dude was a season ticket holder since the last time the Blue Lions won the NFL Championship
Pretty stinking awesome!! I'm so excited 😁
Good report Robert.
Check out Ed Waylen from Portland. A sports anchor who was the pride and joy before our city went to California. I hope there's still some videos of him out there.
The BURNT BISCUIT AWARD was epic!!!!
3 GREATEST 🍺 EVER 🦁
As a lifelong RAMS fan: Congrats! Enjoy, and good luck!
Awesome story!!!!
Also great to see RodRob Meloni. I grew up in Saginaw , so remember him well back in the days of WNEM TV5
❤️ this , great Fan , even better soul😇🙏🏿
C'mon Lions, GO GIVE HIM a Super Bowl WIN while he is still around! 💪🏈🍻

Poor Ben “ I bought tickets thinking the winning would continue”… 60 years later finally
I love it
I love the city of Detroit! Congratulations, for all those loosing seasons? Y'all deserve this.

As a Pats fan, I’m rooting for the Lions to win it all.

Love this guy. F*ckin A. One pride guys. Middle finger to the world!!!!
Give that Gentleman a Suite this week
Let’s Go Lions
Here after Lions win again 😤
Sheila should have him and wife sit with the ford family for the next one❤!!!
I think they said multiple times hes 86. 😮
Sand's running a little thin, here's to bringing home some jewelry before then, for this amazing man
He” HE ENJOYED THE 60’S. Right?
THATS SO FUN!
when do we get to meet the beautiful brunette sitting in front of him?
For that team it's a huge deal they been stuck forever
I thought he, was a ex-player, that played for the Lion's, back in the day...
Season ticket holder… must have money to burn 🔥
Awww poor guy they won the championship in the 50s before the super bowl even existed and he thought he was hoping on a great bandwagon😂 little did he know 60 years of torture
And to think he's been to over half of the games since then, that's outstanding dedication 💙🦁🤍
Poor guy should have been able to do it with Stafford here. Only problem is Stafford sucks... Sooooooo
Jared Goff is the better quarterback the Lions have got.😊
Amon st Brown yes good luck Lions See you in San Francisco in Der Champion Chip round See you
