Detroit — With tarps surrounding the stadium and distant hum of circular saws and pounding hammers in the background, the Detroit Lions gave a first glimpse of the $100 million in renovations coming to Ford Field this offseason.
In front a small audience of approximately 250 corporate sponsors, suite and season-ticket holders, team president Rod Wood took part in a panel discussion laying out the grand plans for the 15-year old stadium.
The crown jewel of the project is the much-anticipated upgrades to the team’s digital scoreboards. The undersized and outdated end zone scoreboards are being replaced by a pair of high-definition displays, measuring over 6,000-square foot each.
