Orlando, Fla. – In his two years as Detroit Lions president, Rod Wood has had success campaigning for specific elements to be incorporated in the team’s schedule.
In 2016, Wood asked the league for a home game to close the year and got it, with the Green Bay Packers coming to Ford Field for the finale. Last year, Wood sought at least two home games the first quarter of the season. Again, his request was granted with the opener and Week 3 being played in Detroit.
“I think the schedulers have treated us pretty fair the past couple of years,” Wood said Monday, at the league’s annual meetings.
