Parking & Tailgating Tips for Detroit Tigers, Lions, & Events

Too Early To Tailgate? Tips for Summer Tailgate
Tailgating and football, a combination as natural as peanut butter and jelly.  Did you know that tailgating is not just for football? In many cities, ParknParty.com is making tailgating easy for any event. Why wait until fall, you can tailgate today in Detroit at a Tigers game, a hot concert like Kenney Chesney, or Luke Bryan. Summer is the best time to be outdoors, sit with good friends, and enjoy a drink before attending your favorite event. A memorable tailgate is as easy as 1, 2, and 3

Step 1: Find parking with Parknparty.com
Parking should never be the main event!  It shouldn’t overshadow the game or concert. Detroit has lots of fun summer events.  Sometimes there’s a Tigers game at Comerica Park at the same time as a concert at Ford Field. On any given day, parking can be difficult in Detroit.  Particularly when multiple events are scheduled on the same day. Why drive around hoping to find a place to park. Instead, be smart, visit parknparty.com to reserve your parking spot today. Once you’ve tried Park n Party, you’ll always make a parking reservation before you enjoy a game or concert in downtown Detroit.

Step 2: Food and Drinks
Detroit tailgating gives you many fun options for food and drinks. Make it a roaming tailgate and walk to some of local establishments. For something different yet, sporty, try Green Dot Stables. This unique local restaurant and pub has some great casual eats combined with Horse Racing décor has something for everyone when it comes to food and drinks.

If Horse Racing is not your thing, perhaps you would be more comfortable with a Traditional Irish Pub that always delivers fun. The Old Shillelagh offers a cozy Irish Pub feel with great food and a fresh draught pint. A favorite feature is the open air patio and they even run a party bus to local events. How can you visit Detroit, the home of Hockey town and not visit Chelis Chili Bar? This sports bar is a must see for any sports fan so stop in and enjoy its large patio with an amazing view of Tiger Stadium.

If you prefer a more traditional tailgate, be sure to find your parking in a lot that offers tailgating and then set up a grill, your own bar and make your own fun.
