DETROIT — DETROIT - We've had sun and warm temperatures but nothing screams spring is here like baseball season starting up -- specifically Tigers Opening Day!
The big day is finally here, Thursday, April 4 and the 13 ON YOUR SIDE's Morning team has been anxiously awaiting its arrival.
Kamady Rudd and James Stark traveled all the way to Detroit to see how Comerica Park is prepping for the festivities. After the show, they plan on sticking around to hang out with some Tigers tailgaters.
The Tigers play at the Kansas City Royals at 1 p.m.
If you plan on going to a Tigers game this season, you'll want to brush up on the ballpark's new bag policy and food and drink rules. Everything can be found on the official Detroit Tigers website, but here are some highlights of what's allowed:
