The Michigan Panthers played their first home game in the state in nearly 40 years on Sunday. The original Panthers won the inaugural USFL title in 1983, giving them a leg up on the rival Detroit Lions. These Panthers 2.0 benefit from that nostalgia.
One fellow sported a genuine 1983 Panthers Anthony Carter jersey — the famed No. 1 worn when the wide receiver was at the University of Michigan and then with the USFL team.
Having veteran WWE star Big E as the team hype man on Sunday likely appealed to both kids and adults. Detroit sports notables such as Ben Wallace and Calvin Johnson participated in activities during the game. Masking off the upper bowl makes sense because you want as many people at camera level in the stadium as possible .
pre- and post-game shows, Hebert happily shared his Panthers player days memories, about his $250,000 rookie contract that lifted him out of poverty, and his admiration for Ford Field.It also was a rare visit to downtown Detroit for Hebert, who spent his time living in Pontiac. Detroit was mostly a ghost town for off-duty football players back then, he said.Now 62, Hebert remains confident his 1983 team would have won a head-to-head meeting with the Lions.
