Rod Wood interested in hosting Super Bowl, NFL Draft

The Detroit Lions are committing $100 million to upgrade Ford Field, and team president Rod Wood is hoping those renovations will help the Lions land another bid to host the Super Bowl.

“I’ve expressed an interest on bidding on the next round,” Wood said Wednesday at an unveiling event at Ford Field. “I’ve also expressed (interest in) the NFL Draft, whether that’d be at Ford Field or just here in Detroit.

“I’ve put forward an expression of interest and we’ll see where that goes.”

Ford Field last hosted a Super Bowl in 2006, four years after opening in 2002.
