NOVI, Mich. – Emagine Theatres has canceled the Detroit Lions-Los Angeles Rams playoff viewing party at the request of the National Football League.
The Lions and Rams will kick off this Sunday (Jan. 14) inside Ford Field at 8 p.m. But, viewers will have to watch it at their local establishment or in the comfort of their homes as the NFL has prohibited Emagine Theaters from hosting its planned viewing party at their locations.
It was announced on Wednesday (Jan. 10) that Emagine would be showing the game for free in several of its locations across Southeast Detroit, but due to licensing, amongst other things, it will not be allowed at this time.
