It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Detroit Lions owner Sheila Hamp. She hasn’t held a public media session in a couple years now.
But this week she did send a message out to season-ticket holders to address the team’s disappointing 9-8 season that ended without a playoff appearance. In the message, she admits the results of the 2025 season “were not good enough.” However, she believes “drastic change” is not needed at this moment, but rather it’s a time to “refocus, evolve, and move forward.”
Here’s the full message to season-ticket holders sent out on Tuesday morning:
I want to start by thanking you for your commitment to our team and the support you show throughout the season. I am always blown away by the energy you create inside Ford Field and the advantage you give our team every time we run out of the tunnel.
I also want to acknowledge that our results on the field this season were not what any of us envisioned and frankly, were not good enough. While we do not believe it is a time for drastic change, this is an opportunity for us to refocus, evolve, and move forward.
I am proud of the roster we have built and the 36 wins we have accumulated over the last three seasons. That success doesn’t happen by accident, but it also does not guarantee future success. It is incumbent upon us to continue growing toward our ultimate goal of bringing a championship to all of you and the city of Detroit.
I can assure you that we are committed to looking at everything we do to ensure we are performing at the highest level. Through conversations with Rod, Brad and Dan, we are all aligned with this thinking and have already started meetings to address how we move forward.
We are excited for what 2026 will bring and some of the new elements we will introduce for all of you, our most loyal fans. Thank you again for your commitment.
Go Lions!
