Students at Detroit's Spain Elementary knew there were getting a new gymnasium.

Ellen DeGeneres and Lowe's pledged $500,000 to fix the crumbling gym earlier this year. 

What the students didn't know: they'd get a surprise of a lifetime from Lions Matthew Stafford and Golden Tate.

The quarterback and wide receiver were on hand for Ellen's big reveal at Spain Elementary on Friday.

They gave each student tickets to the team's home opener.
