Lions will host a watch party at Ford Field for the NFC Championship game

The NFC Championship game will be played at Levi’s Stadium in the San Francisco area, but the Detroit Lions still want fans to pack Ford Field for next Sunday’s game.

The team announced it will host a watch party at the home stadium. Doors will open at 5 p.m. ET, or 90 minutes before the scheduled kickoff in San Francisco. The title game will be shown on all the video boards and display screens inside Ford Field.

Tickets will go on sale on Monday morning for Lions loyalty members and at 3 p.m. on Monday afternoon for the general public. The 100-level sections and reserved seating will be available.

A portion of the proceeds will support the Detroit Lions Foundation for Youth & High School Sports.
