The Detroit Lions are revving up for their 2024 training camp, set to take a swing at the new season with their first session kicking off on July 27. As reported by CBS News Detroit, the camp, presented by Rocket Mortgage, will house its practices at the team's familiar digs at 222 Republic Drive in Allen Park, Michigan. Enthusiasts and die-hard fans alike should mark their calendars as the training wheels come off through to the final session on August 14, gearing up for their season opener against the Los Angeles Rams.
Those eager to snag a spot to observe the preseason preparations can start to register for free tickets on July 16. However, according to information obtained by The Detroit News, Lions Loyal members will have the chance to get to quickly dive into the fray with early registration opening on July 9. Alongside observing the on-field action, the Lions are rolling out the red carpet with giveaways, interactive games, and a cavalcade of local food trucks hoping to win over the palates of fans.
Breaking from the tradition of engaging in joint-practice sessions at their home base, the Lions are packing their bags for a trip to New Jersey where they will join forces for practices with the Giants in early August. This detour from the norm brings an exclusive look at cross-team dynamics away from the eyes of the home crowd. As for the training itself, WXYZ points out that six practices are open to the public, with specific dates earmarked as 'Lions Loyal' member exclusives.
Fans looking to attend must adhere to certain guidelines. Recording or live-streaming is off-limits, and those wishing to bring bags will need to conform to the specified size restrictions. As a heads-up, the Lions are quite clear: no professional cameras, video cameras, or drones, and even your daily essentials such as food and chairs have to be left at home. For further information on what to expect, the Lions have laid out the dos and don'ts on their official website.
