About this event

Major League Baseball game between the Detroit Tigers and the Boston Red Sox.

What to Expect

  • 1.Arrive early to catch warmups and the national anthem; doors open about 90 minutes before first pitch, and parking or rideshare lines can be long if you wait. Plan your approach to the park so you’re in and in your seat when the first pitch happens.
  • 2.Fuel up with classic ballpark fare—think chili dogs and local beers—but expect lines building after the anthem; if you can, use mobile ordering or grab bites early to beat peak rush.
  • 3.Pick seats with a good view of the action; baseline seats tend to give more foul-ball chances, and if you want shade or a breeze, choose accordingly. Bring a light jacket because temps can dip after sunset.
  • 4.Dress in layers; Detroit evenings in May can get chilly, so a light jacket and comfortable shoes for wandering between innings are smart picks.
  • 5.Check bag and entry policies before you go and plan for cashless concessions; bring a small bag to speed through security and entry, and confirm re-entry rules if you think you’ll come and go.
