Will stranded Detroit Lions fans make it to Germany for the big game?

Randall Woodard, 49, was at Detroit Metro Airport on Nov. 13 trying to leave for Munich, Germany to watch the Detroit Lions play this weekend.

“I wouldn’t miss this trip for the world,” said Woodard, who’s turning 50 on gameday, Nov. 15.

Woodard stood in line to check his bag after arriving at the airport 15 minutes prior, around 5:45 p.m. — about two hours after the FAA’s announcement that flights were grounded. He’d learned of the FAA’s ground stop while finishing up packing at home and heard from a number of friends about the issue.

“I got quite a few texts asking. 'Is your flight okay, are you all right?' And we’re like, we’ll find out when we get there,” Woodard said.

Woodard said he was hoping his airline, Turkish Airlines, wasn’t affected, but he said he’ll see for sure when he gets to the front of the long, snaking line at the bag check.

Fans from across Michigan and the nation are expected to flock to Munich, Germany to watch the Lions play the New England Patriots Nov. 15 but travelers who didn't make flights before the grounding were confused and frustrated.

Local Instagram influencer Colin McConnell, who has 278,000 followers on his @colindetroit Instagram page, was caught up in the travel snarl Nov. 13 while enroute to Munich for the game.

“Currently stranded at an airport in Virginia,” he posted with the White Stripes song “That’s How I’m Feeling,” playing in the background. “And of all days … Friday the 13th. ... Fingers crossed they get everything figured out soon so I can get back on my way to Germany.”
