The Detroit Tigers are playing the Oakland Athletics at 1:00 pm at Comerica Park in downtown Detroit and it should be easy to purchase tickets at the game. For those heading to the ball game, you can drive, carpool, or take the Tunnel Bus. The bus provides frequent service between downtown Windsor and Comerica Park. https://www.citywindsor.ca/residents/transitwindsor/routes-and-schedules/tunnel-bus-to-detroit/p ages/tunnel-bus-to-detroit.aspx Comerica Park is an exciting area with the Little Caesars Arena, Ford Field, the Hockeytown Café, and numerous other restaurants and attractions to visit prior to or after the game, but remember that you will be entering the United States and will need the necessary documentation – a Passport, NEXUS card, or enhanced driver’s license.
