Detroit — It's cold. It's April. It's time to start the baseball season in Detroit.
The Tigers and the Cleveland Indians will get things officially underway at 1:10 p.m. But hardy fans got things underway unofficially this morning. Though COVID-19 health precautions have restricted some of the traditional celebrations, establishments near and around Comerica Park are open to welcome anyone looking to start the party — and to stay warm.
The ballpark is allowed fans at 20% capacity, and restaurants have a limit of 100 customers or 50% of their capacity. The Detroit Police Department has banned tailgating.
