Perfect Sports Weekend V: Michigan
April 12-15, 2012
Thurs - Detroit Tigers vs Tampa Bay Rays (Comerica Park): “On Deck Circle” Row 3 behind homeplate (with waiter / in game menu)
Fri – Detroit Pistons vs Milwaukee Bucks (Palace of Auburn Hills): VIP C Row 3 on the aisle / half court (with waitress / in game menu)
Sat – Michigan Spring Festivities (Michigan Stadium): Club Level Tickets
Sun –Detroit Red Wings vs Nashville Predators (Joe Louis Arena): On the glass behind the goal for Game 3 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals
I am going to label this trip as "Spoiled Forever" because I not only had great seats for each event, but also because I was able to visit a lot with family.
Perfect Sports Weekend: Michigan
Sept 17-21, 2010
Michigan Wolverines vs UMass Minutemen (The Big House) w/ Ian
Detroit Lions vs Philadelphia Eagles (Ford Field) w/ Ian
Detroit Tigers vs Kansas City Royals (Comerica Park) w/ Ian, Aunt Jennifer, Isaac and his buddy Jeff.
This was an amazing trip, for sure. I got to go to the newly renovated Big House and both new Detroit stadiums for the first time. If you want to skip the numerous words and get right to pictures, you can click here and be a dick. I will have to be honest and admit I'm writing this in July 2011... so ya, I may have forgotten some things.
The “perfect” sports weekend…
I have been on a quest the past few years to take a single weekend trip to Michigan and catch a UM football game, Lions game and Tigers game. The NFL schedule was just released and I had originally penciled in the weekend of Sept 24-26 as the only potential weekend. The Wolverines are playing Bowling Green on 9/25 and the Tigers play the Twins the 25th & 26th. Unfortunately, the Lions play an away game on 9/26.
Thanks to some keen eyes by my friend Ian, the dream is still alive!
Saturday 9/18 - Michigan vs UMASS
Sunday 9/19 - Lions vs Eagles
Monday 9/20 - Tigers vs Royals
The only question left is... who's with me?!?
