The Detroit Lions announced that they are offering fans an opportunity to purchase cutouts to be displayed at Ford Field during home games with the proceeds benefiting charities.
“Though the enthusiasm and energy Lions fans bring to Ford Field on game days can’t 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 via a team press release. “The COVID-19 pandemic has hit our region hard and this is another great opportunity to give back, and given the circumstances, have some fun with our fans.”
Want to be at @FordField for EVERY home game this season? Show your Lions pride with a custom fan cutout. All proceeds benefiting Detroit Lions Charities.

You can purchase individual games for $50 or upgrade to a full season for $150 (season ticket holders get a discount, with the full season option only costing $125) and the cut outs will be displayed in the lower bowl and end zones — but there is an additional Barry Sanders exclusive option as well.
Per the Lions website, this exclusive option includes, a self cut out and Barry Sanders’ cutout will be placed next to each other in exclusive seats above the tunnel. “A photo of your cutout next to Barry Sanders’ at the game you purchase will be taken and autographed by Barry Sanders then mailed to you. Purchase this one game option for $1,000. Cut out will also remain in the stadium all other games.”
Proceeds from fan cut purchases will benefit Detroit Lions Charities, Game on Cancer, and Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS).
