At the time the teams started staying at The Townsend, there were no luxury hotel options available downtown, then of course the Lions were also playing in Pontiac.
That was sarcasm. The point I was trying to make was that here we have these guys who are supposed to be in superior physical shape and they can't walk a half mile. I say make them stay at the Holiday Inn Express with the rest of us unwashed.
