White Sox at Tigers, Comerica Park

We said goodbye to Ann Arbor and got back on to I-94 for the 45 minute drive to Detroit (pronounced dEE-troit). We were advised to avoid cheap parking and park close to the stadium if we want to have a car after the game. So we parked next to the stadium and wandered around downtown and eventually made our way to the infamous GM complex. We didn't realize you can go in the building and up to the top floor for an observation deck, so we got on to Detroit's public train, "The People Mover," and rode that back towards the stadium.

The stadium, Comerica Park, was a pretty interesting stadium. The stadium is surrounded by giant tiger statues and the lights give the stadium an industrial feeling. Our seats were very close to the left field foul pole.


We got to see a good game again. Just like at Wrigley, the game went into extra innings but the visiting team prevailed in the 11th inning. Ryan Rayburn hit a bottom-of-the-ninth-with-two-outs three run homer to tie it up. We have yet to see a home team win a game (which is good thing when seeing the Rays on the road).

After the game we decided to head for Canada. We were also advised to stay out of Detroit after dark, so we spent the night in the Canadian town of Windsor, right across the Detroit River.


Windsor was a nice town with a huge Caesar's casino. We walked through the casino but it was too overwhelming to hang out in. So we looked up a place to eat and found a delicious Lebanese restaurant called Mazaar.

Tomorrow we head to Burlington, ON where we will camp for a night and then to Toronto for our final Rays game of the trip.
