The Lions announced this morning plans for Coach’s Kickoff event on Aug. 5 at Ford Field.

It will include an autograph session by Lions players, followed by a team practice. A concert with country music’s Randy Houser will wrap up the event.

“I’m a Randy Houser fan, but missed him the last time he came through town,” Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. “I am thrilled he is going to be the headliner for our first event.

“I’m a big country music fan so it’s going to be really cool that Lions fans will be able to combine both experiences (music and football) at Ford Field.’’

Tickets go on sale on June 22 at Ticketmaster.com or by phone at 800-745-3000.
