The Opening Day Tailgate at Grand Circus Park is Miller Lite-sponsored and completely free to attend, set up just steps from Comerica Park with a beer tent, food trucks, DJ Invisible, and giveaways from the moment the gates open. Grand Circus Park sits at the center of the action on Opening Day, surrounded by the energy of tens of thousands of Tigers fans moving through downtown Detroit, making even the free tailgate feel like a main event rather than a warm-up. There is no ticket required -- you just show up and walk into one of the best free outdoor experiences Detroit offers all year. For anyone doing Opening Day on a budget, or for families who want to absorb the atmosphere before heading into the game, this is the move.
