The Detroit Lions will not showcase their popular NFL football team for a practice in front of fans at Ford Field during training camp. 

According to multiple reports, the annual "Family Fest" will not take place due to scheduling conflicts. 

WWE's Premium Live Event, SummerSlam, will take place on Saturday, Aug. 5, while a Beyonce concert will also take place in late July at Ford Field. 

Family Fest typically allows fans a free look at the team and more access to the roster led by Dan Campbell. 

From last year's press release, "There will be appearances from Lions Legends, Detroit Lions Cheerleaders as well as Lions mascot, Roary. Family Fest will also include live music, free face painting and balloon artists, games and activities. From 10 AM through the conclusion of practice, there will also be a Detroit Lions Locker Room Sale with the opportunity to purchase various memorabilia and apparel with proceeds benefitting the Detroit Lions Foundation."

On the day of SummerSlam, registered supporters can watch Lions practice at the team's Allen Park practice facility, beginning at 10:30 a.m.

All Lions detailed the practices which are open to the public and which are reserved for season ticket members.
