On Wednesday afternoon, the Detroit Lions sent an email to season ticket holders, updating the fans on their plans for the 2020 season. While obviously nothing is set in stone yet, the team let fans know that they are expecting a limited amount of fans for the upcoming season.
“The most prominent change will be the number of fans allowed to attend games at Ford Field,” the email said. “Though capacity restrictions have not yet been determined by government officials, we are anticipating a reduced seating capacity, with socially distanced seating.”
Back in June, Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer signed an executive order allowing sports to resume in the state, but the order specifically said that a live audience was still not permitted.
