Football frenzy is a real thing in the city of Detroit. Citizens of the Motor City wholeheartedly get behind their NFL franchise and it's more than evident for those attending games at Ford Field. The lively crowds that walk thorough its doors is the symbol of a new era for the Detroit Lions, and the stellar on-field play is matched by an impressive game presentation crew. Jessica Shlemon, who was recently promoted to the position of Director of Game & Event Production three weeks ago, has been a critical piece to the Lions' in-venue puzzle for nearly seven years.
On the latest episode of SVG GameDay, Shlemon talks about the busy nights before a game that get the run of show ready to go, her pregame routine, what it's been like to bring energy back to playoff games at Ford Field, how her upbringing just outside of Philadelphia fueled her love for sports, how her collegiate experience at Penn State University grew her passion for live productions, and much more.
