Tigers Fans' Guide for Games 3, 4 Against Yankees

All roads lead to Comerica Park tonight as the Tigers return to the D to host the New York Yankees in Game 3 of the American League Division Series.

A 5-3 victory in Game 2 tied the teams at 1-1, and Tigers fans everywhere are hoping home-field advantage will finish the series in Detroit. However, another tie could result in a fifth game in New York.

But that's getting a little ahead of ourselves.

To help fans headed downtown for Games 3 and 4, the Michigan Department of Transportation is posting major lane closures and restrictions on its website.

Titled "Getting to Comerica Park," the information appears in the rotating spotlight section on the MDOT home page at www.michigan.gov/mdot. Motorists also are advised to "Know before they go" and check traffic flow, lane closure information, weather forecasts and live camera views of major Michigan freeways on Mi Drive, MDOT’s traffic website, at www.michigan.gov/drive.
