Detroit is also known as Hockeytown USA! We take our hockey seriously here! The Joe Louis Arena is alive with excitement on game night and you can feel the energy all throughout downtown. With our 11 time winners of the Stanley Cup, Red Wings jerseys are practically considered formal wear at surrounding restaurants. I like the Roma Cafe where you can leave your car and take a shuttle to the game!

Detroit is home to Comerica Park, a true gem in ball park design. Clear sight lines across the park give unobstructed views of game play. Luxury sky boxes, restaurants, bars, shops and even a Ferris Wheel are all a part of this ball park! You can feel the excitement in the air when you are there, see the Walk of Fame as you make your way to your seats. If you get there early enough, your kids get to run the bases. On weekends, there is a fireworks display in center field after the game.
