Expand Yes... depending on your definition of "walking distance." There's also free street parking available near the stadium if you don't mind a walk. There are also bars, restaurants, etc., by the old Tiger Stadium site (which is now a community ballpark) that have free shuttles to the games. Plus tickets are pretty easy to come by, so it's definitely worth a road trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Depends what you’re into, but I’d argue Windsor is better for a younger demographic as you could drink at the age of 18 there and they have other activities that younger / single men may be into. Personally, I prefer downtown Detroit, especially at this stage in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Detroit (including downtown) has a ton of cool stuff going on--some awesome restaurants and bars and a booming art scene. One of my favorite cities to visit, which I do regularly.

Timmy U Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I saw the Sox in Detroit pre-pandemic, stayed at a hotel and walked to the game, so yes. But it wasn't "Ricketts Hotel" close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other people could say the same thing about the Sox. "Park was nice, better than expected. But when you leave...you are in the south side of Chicago." Detroit is actually a really cool city and has a ton of history and culture. Lots of hidden gems. Yes, it has it's areas you want to stay away from, but it is definitely "rebuilding" so to speak.
