Detroit Bans Fans at NFL Games

When the Detroit Lions open the 2020 NFL season on September 13, 2020, against the Chicago Bears, they’ll play football without fans watching at Ford Field. Whether fans can attend any games will continue to be evaluated while working diligently with healthcare officials at every level, as well as Governor Whitmer's office, announced the Lions on August 21, 2020.

If and when the Lions do host a crowd at Ford Field, the fans will be required to wear face coverings at all times.
