Our First Tigers Game!

Our friends from work invited us to go to our first Tigers game and we had a blast! Danny and I started the evening by going out to dinner at a restaurant called hockeytown- it was dedicated to the detroit red wings. The food was pretty good and the atmosphere was fun. We then headed across the street to comerica park and got our tickets for the big game. It was 80's night so there was about ten delorian cars parked outside along with ghostbusters, storm troopers and the teenage mutant ninja turtles. I'm not going to lie, I was just excited to get into the park because I was craving a pretzel and diet coke--which I did end up getting and sadly turned out to be disappointed because the pretzel was stale--boo! We then met up with our friends from work and had fun watching the game. We definitely contributed to concessions profits with not only my pretzel and soda, but a super rope, two hot dogs and an ice cream sandwhich. The tigers ended up losing it in the sixth or seventh inning but we still had a good time, and we got free t-shirts. This is a picture of the game, we were out in left field which was pretty good seats for only 16 bucks. This is Danny and I, and yes, I was representing my hometown -- Go Padres!! And behind us are some underage drinkers. lol.

This is the whole group including Jimmy, Ginormo, Lantzy, Libby and Wags.
Ginormo is probably one of the funniest kids ever and is very entertaining.
We asked an usher to take a picture of us with the tigers stuff in the background and well....as you can tell he wasn't the best photographer, but oh well. The stadium was really cool, a lot of tigers with baseballs in thier mouths. The actual Tiger stadium isn't used anymore for the tigers games. There was even a carousel in comerica park though which was pretty cool.

And that ends our adventure. We were actually really excited because there wasn't even any traffic on the way home, which is a lot different from the hour traffic you sit in coming home from the padres game.
