Fan Attending Her First Lion's Game Gets Robbed Afterward
Season ticket holder says he's not so sure he'll attend any other games this season.

DETROIT, MI — Bethany Cousino was telling friends how much fun her first trip to Ford Field was when she watched the Lions play the Los Angeles Rams with her friend and season ticket holder, Brian Olszewski. However, her opinion changed when she and her friend were robbed while heading back to their car after the game.
Olszewski and Cousino visited friends in Cadillac Square after the game and while walking back to their car, they were approached by two men wearing hoodies, according to the Detroit Free Press.
"It's the scariest moment I've ever been through in my life," Olszewski told the Free Press. He said that one of the men brandished a gun and struck him above the right eye. Cousino told police that she had been punched in the face three times and her hair was pulled when she tried to run.
