DETROIT (WXYZ) — The Detroit Lions will be hosting a Drone show above Ford Field ahead of their highly-anticipated Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams.

The drone show will be Lions-themed, and pending good weather, is set to happen this Saturday (Sept. 7) at 8:45 p.m., above Ford Field facing downtown. The team said in a post on X that the drones will be launched from John R. Street and East Adams Avenue.

Fans who want to watch the show are asked to stay southeast of Madison Street for the show to operate safely.
