The Detroit Tigers open the 125th Anniversary Season of the franchise on Friday, April 3rd against the St. Louis Cardinals, and in Detroit that means one thing: the city's biggest party day of the year is officially here. Tens of thousands of fans will flood downtown in Tigers gear, the bars will be packed at noon on a Friday, and the energy around Comerica Park from morning through first pitch is something you genuinely cannot find anywhere else in sports. Other cities have Opening Day. Detroit has a holiday. If you have never experienced it, April 3rd, 2026 is the day to change that.
