Detroit Lions fans who were looking forward to tailgating at Eastern Market prior to home games this season will need a Plan B.
Eastern Market announced earlier this afternoon that all Lions tailgating for 2021 has been cancelled due to an inability to accommodate large groups that the venue typically sees on game days:
All Detroit Lions tailgating at Eastern Market is canceled for the 2021-2022 season.
Eastern Market does not have the staff capacity to host large-scale tailgating crowds.
