How Detroit Tigers, Red Wings are helping train election workers and increasing voter awareness

There hasn't been much activity at Little Caesars Arena in recent months, but it will soon be bustling with activity.

And not for concerts or sports contests.

The Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings have partnered with the Michigan Secretary of State's office to turn the arena into a training center for more than 6,000 volunteer election workers. The training sessions will include a few hundred volunteers at a time and take place over the next two months prior to the Nov. 3 election.
