INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bullseye Event Group is excited to announce the Lions VIP Tailgate before every Detroit Lions home game for the 2021 season! In years past it's been a partial season but with past success and popularity this year is a full season of tailgates that will open three hours before kickoff of each Lions home game.
This year, Bullseye Event Group will take over Bedrock's space at 1331 Broadway St (3 blocks from the stadium) at the former home of Punch Bowl Social Detroit. Bullseye Event Group will also work closely with Bedrock's events team to staff the Lions VIP Tailgates with Detroit's very own people.
Known for its incredible culture, devoted fans, good times and of course, the Lions, Bullseye Event Group is combining Detroit's rich history and flavor into one offering: The Lions VIP Tailgate. Fans of all ages enjoy a high-end luxurious tailgating experience with incredible all you can eat food and drinks before each Lions home game. We aim to provide an elevated pre-game gameday experience at an affordable price that accommodates families, fans and corporate groups.
"As we expand our footprint with other NFL franchises, we're really excited to take what we have done in past years in Detroit and expand our offering for all games this 2021 season," Bullseye Event Group CEO Kyle Kinnett said. "Detroit knows football, they know food, and our tailgate platform combines those two, making this the perfect fit before a Lions game." Kinnett went on to say the amount of demand for the Thanksgiving Day game and the demand for group sales made this an easy decision to do a full schedule in Detroit.
