The NFL has granted the Lions a 24-hour extension to reach a sellout for Sunday's home game against the Chicago Bears at Ford Field. Fewer than 2,000 (tickets) are still available to purchase. The game must be sold out by Friday, October 3 at 1 p.m. ET in order to lift the local television (Metro Detroit, Lansing, Saginaw/Flint and Toledo markets) blackout. If a sellout is not reached by the deadline, the game will not air in the blackout areas, including WJBK-TV FOX 2 in Metro Detroit. Fans can buy tickets to the home opener through the following outlets: Detroitlions.com, TicketMaster.com, TicketMaster at 248.645.6666 and in person at the Ford Field Ticket Office and TicketMaster outlets.
