The Lions said the decision was made in large part because of Michigan's steady COVID-19 vaccination rate.
The team will follow the state's reopening guidelines and will not require fans to wear masks.
The Lions will not ask spectators for proof of vaccination status, but they will encourage unvaccinated fans to wear a face covering.
