Opening Day for the Detroit Tigers is today! If you plan on playing hooky from work to head downtown, make sure you know about the new rules at Comerca Park of what you can/can’t bring inside to avoid any potential headaches. To sum it up:
The No’s: aerosol cans, animals aside from special pet events (service animals are the exception), bats of any size, beach balls or other inflatable items, bottles, beer, brooms, Frisbees, fishing nets, laser pointers, skateboards, hover boards, tripods, selfie sticks, banners on sticks, and metal tipped and overly large umbrellas.
Fireworks, knives, and firearms are of course prohibited. Even squirt gun aren’t allowed.
It’s a negative on drones too, so sorry but no amateur fly-over footage.
Stuff that IS allowed: small soft-sided coolers, snacks and individual-portion-size food, factory sealed bottles of unflavored water, single-compartment, drawstring bags that are no bigger than 16 inches by 16 inches by 8 inches (ALL bags must fit these parameters! This includes purses, diapers bags, and said coolers.), mitts and gloves, binoculars, blankets, cameras, headphones and radios, signs and handheld banners, strollers, baby bottles (And yeah, you should have an actually baby with you for those previous two!), and smaller umbrellas.
Bags will be searched upon entry into the park, so if you have any of the no-no stuff on your, you’ll have to make the trek back to whatever you managed to park your car to store it until after the game.
Now you should be ready to root on the Tigers at home! But if you’re a nut for fine print, can go to the official site here for basically the same info.
