The Detroit Lions’ current headquarters is in Allen Park, Michigan. The facility has a a weight room, film rooms, locker rooms, two outdoor practice fields, an indoor field and more. With all of that in place, it doesn’t seem all that easy to set up shop somewhere else, but the Lions are going to do it.
According to team president Rod Wood, in an interview with media, the team is seriously considering moving. “We’re considering whether we’re going to continue to stay there and put more money into the facility, or be better off looking at locations elsewhere in Metro Detroit, where we’d have more space for the team and training camp for the fans,” he said.
Right now, things are staying put. But, Wood explained, “…we’re going to stay where we are…” for the short term. He said moving the facility is a goal they won’t hit this year, but it’s a “near-term thing that needs to be decided.”
The Lions have made some improvements to their practice space over the years. But, it’s nice that along with the buzz surrounding this Detroit Lions team, it appears the team’s leaders are looking to pay up and give these guys the kind of facility they are earning.
