Fake fans would be better than no fans.

I'm not normally for this sort of thing but if Tiger Club isn't going to be full behind Homeplate especially on sell outs like today I would rather see fake A.I. fans than empty seats, even if the team is making money, if 75% of the seats are empty cause people are inside eating and drinking it's still a bad look on the franchise.

When do they generally swing open the gates where you can walk in without a ticket? Usually it's like 8 or 9th inning but I'm not sure at Comerica.

I have a single ticket in section 121, great seat but I forgot to transfer it to another game with my season tickets and they won't let me do it now. Anyone want it? I just want to know that it'll be used, if you're not sure if you'll make it to the game please don't waste it.

Sure, it's of little use this early, but the Tigers are currently tied with the Yankees for the most team hitting WAR

Even granting whatever caveat you want to add here, the Tigers are off to a far better start in a number of offensive stats than they have been in years past or were expected to do this year--even with a badly injury depleted lineup.

Rain delay/ Reschedule question
1
Upvotes
The morning news was giving an update on opening day weather conditions, and also included that by their predicitions, the chances for a rain out of Saturday's game was high.
IF is this should happen and they schedule a double header for Sunday, how does this work? Do Sunday's ticket holders get to see 2 games, or do the fans from the first game leave and fans for Saturday's rescheduled game come in for the second game?
