The Lions aren't saying exactly how many, but there are seats available for Sunday's game. If the game isn't sold out by 1 p.m. Thursday, it will be the first local TV blackout of the season. In an effort to prod sales, the Lions have offered $78 tickets to Ford employees for just $30. Source: Detroit Free Press
