Michigan plans to lift COVID restrictions paves way for fully-attended Detroit Lions games

This week, Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer announced plans that will effectively lift all capacity limitations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic by July 1. Starting on June 1, all outdoor venues, including parks, outdoor concerts and stadiums, will be permitted to be at 100 percent capacity again. A month later on July 1, indoor venues, including restaurants, movie theaters and indoor stadiums, will also be allowed to have full capacity.

“We will be able to sing at church, dance at weddings, cheer at games, hug each other and laugh together,” Whitmer said on Thursday.

This obviously paves the way for Ford Field to, again, be packed with Detroit Lions fans this summer.
