 “Everyone is smiling, jumping, it’s great,” Hill added.

For many fans, one of the highlights of the show was seeing Jared Goff’s name pop up in the sky.

“He’s a QB1 all the way,” said Nick Cockell. “You can see how the city and the state is responding to him.”

Many families were out enjoying the show like the Shculte family.
 
Matthew Schulte says attending the drone show was about making sure the love for the Lions is passed down through multiple generations.
