Lions Reach Sellout For Sunday's Game
The final 800 tickets for Sunday's Detroit Lions game have been sold, avoiding a local TV blackout as the team plays St Louis. The team had until 1 p.m. Friday to sell the remaining tickets.
"Our fans' support is outstanding, and we appreciate their excitement for this team," said Lions President Tom Lewand. "A significant portion of the remaining tickets for Sunday's game were purchased by our fans and that allowed us to complete the sellout by partnering with Gardner-White. We want to express our many thanks to our fans and Gardner-White for this Sunday's game airing live in Metro Detroit."
A limited number of tickets may still be available after St Louis returned an allotment of their tickets. Click here for ticket information. Or, call 1 (800) 745.3000.
Quarterback Shaun Hill will start Sunday for the winless Lions as Matthew Stafford is still not healthy enough to play. Stafford hasn't played since he injured his right shoulder in the season-opening game at Chicago.
Sunday's game will air live at 1 p.m. in the local television markets (Metro Detroit, Lansing, Saginaw/Flint and Toledo markets), including WJBK-TV FOX 2. You can hear hear it live on our sister station, 97.1 The Ticket.
