One of the comments on the video was from the Detroit Lions football team. Liam’s father, Chris, has been a Detroit fan from a very young age and passed along his love for the Lions to his son.<\/p>\n

A representative from the team contacted Liam’s family. Liam and his father had a preplanned visit to see a game in Detroit. The team wanted to make Liam’s trip even more special and upgraded the family\u2019s tickets to sideline tickets.<\/p>\n

Liam and his father were able to see the game up close and meet the players, including cornerback Terrion Arnold.<\/p>\n
