Check out this amazing Dan Campbell-themed corn maze art
It’s a little early to think about corn mazes. They’re a staple of crisp-aired autumn afternoons, not steamy summer days. Yet a corn maze in Williamston is firing up the excitement and anticipation for another staple of Michigan falls: the Detroit Lions. An overhead photo of the spectacular maize artwork near Lansing, shared by the Lions via their social media, shows an intricate picture of head coach Dan Campbell’s head carved into the corn. Wearing a “GRIT” hat and with a lion’s mane flowing around his face, Campbell sits about other corn patches depicting “Go Lions!” and “One Pride” – the team’s official hashtag. This is more of corn art than an actual corn maze, but it’s still spectacular to behold!
