The 2019 Detroit Tigers will take the field for the first time on Thursday, and get to do so with a sense of confidence not shared by many Tigers teams in recent memory. No, we’re not talking about a club with high preseason expectations — these Tigers are projected to finish in last place, unfortunately. But for the first time in a couple years (and only the second in the past decade), the Tigers will play their season opener in a domed stadium.
Yes, the Opening Day festivities will go unspoiled.
This will be a welcome respite for the Tigers and their fans, who have seen their Opening Day game rained out for two years running.
