Detroit Lions to hold scrimmage at Ford Field

Lions News Reports

On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions released their Training Camp dates that will be open to the public, and though that schedule did not include a practice at Ford Field, we noted that we had heard it would be happening.

Well, according to Matt Fogelmark (@mfogelmark), the Lions have sent out an email to Lions’ season ticket holders that said there will indeed be practice at Ford Field on August 6th.

We have since confirmed this date with the Lions and there will indeed be a Family Fun Fest at Ford Field on August 6th and it will include a team scrimmage. (Not exact time has been released for the event)

Last year, the Family Fun Fest took place on August 7th and gates opened at 10:00 a.m. ET.
