Earlier this offseason, the Detroit Lions announced to season-ticket holders that the annual scrimmage at Ford Field was scheduled for Saturday, August 6. On Tuesday, the Lions made a formal announcement to the public, along with further details on the event, including how to secure free tickets to the event.
The practice—typically done in a scrimmage format—will take place at 11:30 a.m. ET and run for about two hours. Gates will open at 10 a.m. ET, with several activities available for fans before practice beings. There will be activities on Brush Street outside the stadium, meet-and-greets with Lions legends, karaoke, face painting, and a “locker room sale,” in which all proceeds will benefit Detroit Lions Charities.
