During his State of the Conference address on Tuesday morning, Mid-American Conference commissioner Dr. Jon Steinbrecher announced an extension of the MAC’s contract with the Detroit Lions and Ford Field to keep the conference football championship game in its current downtown Detroit location.
“We are pleased to extend our relationship with Ford Field for another three years, Steinbrecher said. “Ford Field and the city of Detroit have been outstanding hosts for out football championship game. The facility is among the best in the country, and provides our student-athletes and fans with a premiere championship experience.”
Steinbrecher also thanked Detroit Lions team president and CEO Rod Wood directly for the agreement.
