On Tuesday, a special Drone Show, presented by Meijer, will take place outside Comerica Park. Fans are invited to gather on Columbia Street near the Fox Theatre in The District Detroit for the best viewing experience. The Drone Show is free to attend, and no ticket is required.
In addition, on Wednesday, ahead of a sold out game, fans are invited to attend a free pregame Block Party, also presented by Meijer, outside Comerica Park on Witherell Street. The Block party will open at noon, ahead of the 3:08 p.m. first pitch.
Local favorites Bert’s Marketplace and Yum Village will have food trucks available. Detroit City Distillery and a draft beer trailer will be available for fans 21 and older. Postseason merchandise will be available for purchase, and local DJ’s will perform on the Meijer Stage in front of the Comerica Entry.
Fans also will be able to enjoy face painters and airbrush artists, a 360-degree camera and several photo opportunities. 97.1 The Ticket, the Tigers’ flagship station on the Detroit Tigers Radio Network, will broadcast live from the Block Party.
Gates to Comerica Park will open at 1 p.m., and all ticketed fans with an assigned seat will receive an orange postseason Rally Towel, presented by Meijer.
“Tigers fans have been incredibly supportive all season long, and we can’t wait to celebrate the return of postseason baseball to Comerica Park,” says Asia Gholston, vice president of marketing for the Detroit Tigers.
“We encourage our fans to wear orange and arrive early for some exciting events outside the ballpark. We’re looking forward to what will be an unforgettable environment inside Comerica Park when the gates open for Game 3 of the ALDS on Wednesday afternoon.”
