Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell has decided to put his suburban Detroit home up for sale to regain privacy after experiencing unwanted attention. Campbell described the property, situated on 2 acres and featuring a 7,800-square-foot house, as beautiful but noted that public knowledge of his address led to issues after the team’s losses.
Reports indicate that Campbell and his family faced harassment and pranks, especially following significant losses like the NFC Championship Game. This distressing situation prompted them to file police reports, highlighting their need for protection and privacy.
In response to the harassment, the Bloomfield Township Police Department has assured the community of its dedication to resident safety, emphasizing that any form of harassment is unacceptable and calling for respect towards individuals’ privacy.
The house, which was built in 2013 for Hockey Hall of Famer Igor Larionov, has been listed for $4.5 million. Within a day of listing, a deal was reportedly in progress, with the potential buyers being described as enthusiastic Lions supporters.
Campbell and his wife, Holly, have already moved into a new residence. The realtor handling the sale expressed hope that the public will respect the Campbells’ privacy and continue to support them in a manner that is considerate of their personal space.
