With no fans allowed at Ford Field for at least another month due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Detroit Lions laid off a portion of their business-side staff this week.
The exact number of job cuts is unknown, and the Lions declined to say what percent of their approximately 300-person non-football work force was impacted by the layoffs.
"Consistent with organizational policy, we will not be issuing comment on internal business matters," the team said in a statement to the Free Press.
The cuts came during the team's bye week, and less than seven days after the organization confirmed that fans will not be allowed to attend games at Ford Field until at least Nov.
