Approximately 3,000 tickets are still available for Sunday’s regular season home opening game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Ford Field. The game must be sold out by Friday, September 17 at 1 p.m. ET in order to lift the local television blackout (Metro Detroit, Lansing, Saginaw/Flint and Toledo markets). If a sellout is not reached by the deadline, the game will not air in the blackout areas, including WJBK-TV FOX 2 in Metro Detroit.
