Hello everyone. I have been browsing the boards for a while and love what a read. Now I have a question and figured this may be a great place to get an answer.


I am attending my first Tigers opening day this year. I'm geeked but just have a few questions.

What time should I get down there and grab a spot in the bar? I just don't know when it really starts to get busy and don't want to be really early, or really late.

Also, What is the best bar for opening day pregame? I go downtown all the time but as mentioned before, never for opening day. Is there anywhere in particular I should hit up [[Corktown,Chelis,Beer co., etc...)

Also, a Buddy and I got a room at the Doubletree Fort/Shelby to avoid any drinking and driving. Has anyone ever been there? How far is it from the people mover?

Thanks a lot everyone for your help. GO TIGERS!
