And that's a risk they're willing to take. Fans are saying "I'd rather a Lions fan sit in my seats to cheer on their own team."

No. It's more like, "I'm not stupid enough to let my seats go unused if I can't make it and I know that I can sell them."

Besides, a sizable chunk of the season tickets in the Dome, and all other facilities, belong to third party brokers. It absolutely doesn't matter to them who is sitting in the seats. The fellow season ticket holders around us that we know said our seats had Saints fans in them for the Lions game. I guess there are Saints fans out there willing and able to spend almost $600 on a pair of ticket still. They are nice front row seats in the club area, however. And we did wait until the last day to sell them hoping we recovered enough (both had the bug) to make the long drives there and back.

The ten seats to the left of us on our row have been third party since we've had ours. They always have different people sitting in them. On occasion visiting fans, but usually Saints fans. Same for others seats in the section. Most visiting fans end up sitting in the lower bowl on the southeast side. The brokers obviously hold a large percentage of those. They have been on the same waiting list as all of the rest of us, scarfing up tickets.
