The rebranding of the Lions’ practice facility to the Meijer Performance Center is part of a broader strategy to integrate Meijer’s branding into the local sports community. This partnership will see Meijer’s name featured prominently in stories and reports related to the Lions’ training facility, embedding the brand into the minds of local fans. As Justin Rogers of the Detroit Football Network highlights, this move mirrors the branding seen at Comerica Park and Little Caesars Arena, strengthening Meijer’s presence in Detroit’s sports scene.
In addition to branding benefits, Meijer will also have its patch on the team’s practice jerseys outside of training camp. While fans typically do not purchase practice jerseys, the exposure from media coverage and photo galleries will further enhance Meijer’s visibility.For fans attending open training camp practices, the Meijer partnership brings immediate benefits. As part of the sponsorship, the sideline bleachers and VIP tents have been upgraded with coverings, providing protection from the harsh August sun or light rain showers. This improvement aims to enhance the fan experience during training camp sessions.
