Detroit Tigers - Home Games
There’s nothing quite like spring in Detroit and the return of baseball at Comerica Park. The Tigers Opening Day is on April 3rd and is one of the city’s great traditions—fans filling downtown, restaurants buzzing, and a sense that winter is finally behind us.
April is one of the best times to catch a game, with crisp evenings, smaller crowds, and a chance to enjoy the ballpark before the heat of summer arrives.
Go Tigers!
