Three prominent executives from the Detroit sports world announced the formation Wednesday of the Detroit Sports Organizing Corp., a group whose mission is to bring major sporting events to Detroit.
Lions president Rod Wood, one of 16 founding members of the DSOC, sat down Thursday with the Free Press to discuss the group's plan to host a future NFL draft as well as other topics relevant to his team.
Wood said he's optimistic that the city will host either the 2019 or 2020 draft, but that it's less likely Detroit will be in the running for another Super Bowl.
