The Darin Larner Duo (Darin Larner Sr. & Darin Larner Jr.) played the gig of a lifetime at Ford Field in Downtown Detroit on December 16th, 2023 prior to the Detroit Lions/Denver Broncos Saturday Night Football game. Most of our friends and family know that my Dad and I are die-hard fans of the Detroit Lions. It was an incredible experience, and we got to witness in the stands the Lions dominating Denver, 42-17. It was the best day ever, and I will never forget this night! We finally get to scratch it off our bucket list. GO LIONS!
