Jack White to perform at halftime of Detroit Lions’ Thanksgiving Day game

The Detroit Lions have turned the entertainment portion of their games to the legendary and iconic Eminem. And he has come up big, big, big with his first act. On Thanksgiving, when the Lions play host to the Green Bay Packers , a Detroit music icon will be the halftime act. Jack White, who was just inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame as half of the White Stripes, will take the field during the break. Don't expect many fans to head to the concession stands or any of the folks watching the game on FOX to leave to grab some Thanksgiving food.
