Lecture: Detroit Lions and the Early NFL
Jeremy Dimick, Director of Collections and Curatorial at the Detroit Historical Society, gave a talk on the history of the Detroit Lions on Wednesday, September 30, at 7 p.m. at the Novi Public Library in Novi. Admission was free.
Dimick explored why the Lions took hold in Detroit when several earlier pro football teams failed. The talk started with the Portsmouth Spartans moving to Detroit in 1934 and putting on Honolulu Blue.
It followed the team from the shaky early NFL through its small-town roots and its golden age in the 1950s, up to the present. The Novi Public Library presented the evening.
