NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell received a private tour of Ford Field Tuesday night from owner Martha Firestone Ford, vice chair Sheila Ford Hamp and team president Rod Wood before participating in a Fan Forum with a Q&A session.
The commissioner spoke on a number of issues ranging from player safety to Detroit’s potential bid to host the Super Bowl and the NFL Draft, and his thoughts on Mrs. Ford’s ownership and her involvement at the league level.
How strong is Detroit’s bid to host the NFL Draft and a Super Bowl?
There’s obviously a lot that goes into such a bid, and proposals have yet to be submitted, but Goodell does think Detroit will have a strong bid when it’s submitted, and as good a shot as any of the other 24 cities he’s expecting to try and bring either event to their city.
