Taking my kids to Michigan Panthers games has been a cherished family tradition. It's not just a pastime for us; it’s affordable family fun that offers a refreshing alternative to the overpriced NFL tickets. Unfortunately, the Panthers have been facing financial challenges because playing at Ford Field in Detroit has proven to be too costly for the league.

However, there is a solution that can ensure the survival of this beloved team: moving the games to Rynearson Stadium in Ypsilanti. This stadium provides a more financially viable option while we wait for the completion of the DCFC Stadium in Corktown, which could serve as a permanent home for the Panthers in the future.

Rynearson Stadium is well-suited for hosting the Panthers games with ample space and adequate facilities. Relocating the team there would maintain the team's viability, continue to provide fans like us with enjoyable alternatives to more expensive sports entertainment options, and keep the tradition alive for future generations.

Moreover, Michigan Panthers games offer an economic boon to the local community. Keeping them active in the area would continue to support local businesses, generate employment opportunities, and foster community spirit. Ypsilanti, with its vibrant community and rich sporting culture, stands ready to welcome the Panthers. It's time to rally behind our team to ensure they remain part of Michigan’s sporting landscape.

By signing this petition, you are voicing your support for a feasible and sustainable solution that safeguards our treasured family experiences and the continuity of an affordable, entertaining sports option. Let’s show the love and commitment we have for the Panthers by taking action now to help secure their future in Michigan.
