Detroit – Following weeks of uncertainty surrounding the future of the Michigan Panthers, including speculation about possible relocation out of the state, the United Football League’s new co-owner said Monday that he’s “trying” to find a solution that could keep the Panthers from moving.

Mike Repole, who joined the ownership group of the UFL at the end of July, posted on X on Monday that the Panthers’ current venue, Ford Field, is the biggest obstacle for the franchise, and said he is monitoring the situation with Detroit City FC’s new stadium as a potential solution down the road.

Detroit City FC is spending $150 million to build a 15,000-seat stadium, which is scheduled to open in southwest Detroit in 2027. The soccer club released renderings and the stadium’s name earlier this month.
