Officials discussing options to make Ford Field roof retractable

Ever wanted to enjoy a home Detroit Lions game with the sun beating down on the field and a cool breeze running through the stands? It sounds like that could be a possibility down the road, as Ford Field officials are currently discussing options to add a retractable roof to the stadium per The Detroit News.

The plans are part of a proposal to Major League Soccer in order to make a bid for a professional soccer team in Detroit. MLS officials are concerned that an indoor stadium made for football would not make for an ideal pitch for a soccer franchise.
