The 2025-26 NFL season starts in September, and and minicamp happens in July, so there\u2019s just a little bit of time off left for the Lions, both players and staffers.<\/p>\n<p>Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is from California, but he\u2019s made it clear that he is enjoying his time in Detroit and feels like he\u2019s very much at home in the city. So, it makes sense that Goff would invest in the future of Detroit.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Goff is becoming an even bigger part of the city, following a major announcement. So, yes, he\u2019s in it for the long-haul.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff is Bringing Change to the Motor City<\/h2>\n<p>The city of Detroit will be getting a new professional sports team in a few years. On Monday, June 30, the WNBA announced that the investing group headed up by Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores and also with Goff and Detroit Lions team owner Sheila Hamp were approved for a WNBA expansion team starting in the 2029 season. On top of Gores, Goff and Hamp, investors involved in the expansion team include former NBA players Grant Hill and Chris Webber, rapper Eminem and General Motors CEO Mary Barra. How cool is it that Eminem is involved?<\/p>\n<p>This is huge for the city of Detroit. It will mark the first time the city has a WNBA team since the Detroit Shock left for Tulsa, OK, in 2010. Today, the Shock is the Dallas Wings and boasts 2025 No. 1 overall pick Paige Bueckers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a huge win for Detroit and the WNBA. Today makes the long-hoped-for return of the WNBA to a city with deep basketball roots and a championship tradition,\u201d Gores said, according to the Detroit Free Press. \u201cDetroit played a key role in the league\u2019s early growth, and we\u2019re proud to reignite that legacy as the WNBA ascends to new heights. Our plays will bring new energy, investment and infrastructure to our city and the WNBA, and additional resources to our community.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Upgrades for Detroit<\/h2>\n<p>The WNBA team will get a brand new practice facility and team headquarters that will be located on the Detroit riverfront, according to the Free Press, at the previous Uniroyal site west of the Belle Isle bridge. Speaking with the Free Press, WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert said the new expansion team will retain the history of the Shock, but there\u2019s no word yet on if it will have the same name.<\/p>\n<p>The Shock was a success in Detroit in terms of wins, and the team won three championships while in the Motor City.<\/p>\n<p>The WNBA is working on expansions not just in Detroit but around the country. On the same day, the WNBA announced that new teams will also be added in Cleveland in 2028 and Philadelphia in 2030. It was previously announced that there will also be two new teams in Portland and Toronto launched to kick off the 2026 season.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is bringing some major changes to the Motor City in the next few years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27161,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27160","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit-lions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
