The Detroit Tigers will host a Wild Card Watch Party at Comerica Park for their first game of the American League Wild Card series against the Houston Astros on Tuesday, Oct. 1. First pitch is scheduled for 2:32 p.m. ET, with the Rocket Mortgage Entry opening to ticketed fans at 1:30 p.m.

Fans can register for the Watch Party by visiting Tigers.com/postseason. Tickets will cost $5, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Detroit Tigers Foundation, which has awarded millions of dollars in grants, tickets and college scholarships throughout Michigan, northern Ohio and southern Ontario, Canada since its inception in 2005. 1901 Society members will receive complimentary admission to the Watch Party and kids 14 and under will be admitted for free if accompanied by a guardian. Parking will be available at the Tiger Garage, located at 250 Fisher Road, adjacent to Comerica Park.

The game broadcast will be shown on the brand-new, 15,000+ square foot videoboard at Comerica Park, in addition to the concourse TVs. Fans arriving early to the Watch Party will receive a “Tigers in the Wild” T-Shirt, presented by Meijer.

“The city of Detroit has rallied behind the Tigers throughout the season and especially during this incredible run in August and September,” said Asia Gholston, Vice President of Marketing for the Tigers. “Hosting a Watch Party is another way to bring our incredible fan base and community together to celebrate the Tigers’ return to the postseason.”

The Comerica Landing and Pitchers Pub will be activated during the Watch Party, with select concession and retail locations also open for Tigers fans, including postseason-themed merchandise. Tigers mascot PAWS will be in attendance and the first 500 fans to enter Comerica Park will receive complimentary Little Caesars pizza and water, courtesy of Pepsi.
