Detroit Lions to host 500 fans at Ford Field vs. Indianapolis Colts

The Detroit Lions will host a limited number of fans at Ford Field this Sunday for the first time this season.

The Lions announced Thursday that 500 friends and family members will attend Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts.

The team played its first two home games of the season without crowds, per an executive order by Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer banning gatherings larger than 250 people.

Whitmer changed her order to allow crowds of up to 500 people earlier this month, and though that order was eventually struck down by the Michigan Supreme Court, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services issued similar guidelines that remain in effect.
