last Friday, I got to partake in my 1st ever “Opening Day” experience. a friend won 4 free tickets to the game, so I joined him and 2 other friends for a the trip to downtown Detroit. the weather forecast wasn’t looking great – it rained all morning, but there was a chance it would clear up by the afternoon, and a 3pm start gave us hope that the weather would improve.
we each worked a half-day that morning, and then met up at one of the guy’s house in Dearborn to carpool downtown. we met up with some other folks that my friends knew for a beer in the parking lot of Woodward Ave before the game. at that point, it was maybe mid-50′s, and still drizzling rain. but by the time we walked down to the stadium, the rain had stopped – and the sun even peaked out during the game. we sat in the lower part of the upper deck, with a pretty nice view of the field.
after the game, we walked around a bit, and stopped in at the patio at the Town Pump Tavern, to have a few drinks, socialize, and watch the people who had already had way too much to drink.
we were living the High Life.
