DETROIT The Detroit Lions wont have any real fans at their first two home games -- and perhaps even more -- but you can send your cardboard cutout to fill your seat. The Detroit Lions announced today that fans can still be a part of game day at Ford Field by purchasing cutouts which will be placed in the lower bowl end zones for home games. Should the Lions have an opportunity to host fans at Ford Field later this season, cutouts may be moved to other seats within the stadium. With proceeds benefiting Detroit Lions Charities, full season cutouts are available for purchase for $150 for the general public and $125 for Lions Season Ticket Members. Though the enthusiasm and energy Lions fans bring to Ford Field on game days cant be replaced, we are excited to offer an alternative representation of that support at home games this season, said Detroit Lions Senior Vice President of Business Development Kelly Kozole.
