Detroit — Detroit's four major professional sports teams are teaming up to help residents get their vote on.
The Ilitch-owned Tigers and Red Wings were the latest to join the venture Wednesday, announcing that Little Caesars Arena will be used as a training venue for more than 6,000 volunteer workers in September and October, while Comerica Park will host a ballot drop box.
With previous initiatives announced by the Lions and Pistons, Detroit is the first major United States city with four professional teams "taking an active, nonpartisan role in supporting this fall's elections," Michigan secretary of state Jocelyn Benson wrote on Twitter on Wednesday.
