Details About the Halftime Show

Detroit, of course, is the home of Motown Records, and with that in mind, Theo “Gridiron” Spight, the Lions’ official singer, will pay homage to the label with a medley of hits.

Spight told MLive.com that he and his band will play three Motown classics, The Temptations “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,” Stevie Wonder’s “Sign, Sealed, Delivered,” and the Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell duet “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.”

Spight is the singer of the Lions’ fight song, “Gridiron Heroes,” which he performs every time the team scores at Ford Field.

According to Spight, he and his band will end their medley with “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” because they feel it symbolizes of this year’s Lions. The team made the playoffs for the fisrt time in more than 30 years in 2024.
