Anyone want to go see the Green Bay Packers play in Detroit on Sunday afternoon? The Lions have tickets. Plenty of them.
There are about 4,500 tickets left for Sunday's noon game, raising the threat of the first TV blackout in Detroit since the Lions started playing at Ford Field six years ago, according to Tom Kowalski of Michigan's Booth Newspapers.
If the game isn't sold out by 1 p.m. local time Thursday, it won't be shown in the Detroit area. The NFL could extend the deadline to 1 p.m. Friday, but that usually happens only when a sellout is close to being a done deal. That isn't the case this week.
Want tickets? Go to the Lions' Web site, where you can buy single-game tickets, two- or eight-game packs or group tickets. Prices start at $46.
