“We want more baby,” Lions fan Vincent McClure.

“We’re going to go all the way,” said another Lions fan.

With about two weeks before the next game, the Lions’ organization is looking to connect with fans across the state by taking their tour bus to a new city each day, according to Senior VP of Marketing Emily Griffin.

“Really to celebrate our fans and give back to them and thank them for the tremendous support they’ve given throughout this historic season,” Griffin said.

The outside of the bus is decorated with team merchandise, photo ops and games for fans to interact with.

The man behind the wheel of the big blue bus is ‘Hurricane’ Heath.

“There’s just such a great spirit about this. It’s like the whole city and the state is alive and vibrant, and it’s so cool,” Heath said. “I’m just happy to be a part of it.”

He has more than 20 years of experience driving tour buses, but Heathfield says this opportunity is special.

“All my life, since I was a little boy, I’ve been a Lions fan, and to be able to do this at this point is like the coolest thing,” Heathfield said.
