TigerFest Sells Out

The Tigers announced today that TigerFest 2007 is a sell out. Expected attendance is in excess of 12,000 fans. Unfortunately I waited too long so my son and I won’t be part of the throng.

If you were planning on seeing one of the 30 players at TigerFest your other option includes trying to catch up with the team at a caravan stop. Here is the full schedule:

Metro Bus

Roster: Jeremy Bonderman, Curtis Granderson, Carlos Guillen, Mike Maroth, Magglio Ordonez, Nate Robertson, Kenny Rogers, Gary Sheffield, Al Avila, Jeff Jones, Andy Van Slyke, Rod Allen, Mario Impemba.

Wednesday January 17th

11:05-12:00: Saginaw Valles State University Pep Rally (free to public)

3:00-4:45: Oakland University Rally (free to public)

6:45-8:30: Taylor Sports Plex Rally (free to public)

Thursday January 18

12:30-2:00: Monroe County Community College Rally (free to public)

West Bus

Wednesday January 17

11:45-12:45: MSU Breslin Rally (free to public)

6:00-9:00: West Michigan Whitecaps Banquet (sold out)

Thursday January 18th

10:45-12:00: Western Michigan University Rally at James Miller Auditorium (free to public)

6:00-7:00: Eastern Michigan University Rally at EMU Convocation Center (free to public)

5:30-10:00: Bowling Fundraiser to benefit Mott Children’s Hospital & Detroit Tigers Foundation. Colonial Lanes Bowling Center Ann Arbor.

A glance in today’s sport section shows that many players are sticking around on Sunday to do autograph appearances. But unlike years past when the going rate was $10-20 for an auto it looks like it will cost you at least $40. Ah, the price of success.

  1. I guess we all have to pay for success 🙂 Thats ok by me.

    I am looking to go by the Colonial Lanes for the Mott Hospital fundraiser, but the flyers don’t mention any of the other players; just Brandon Inge, Vance Wilson and Rafael Belliard. Will be for a good cause though and worth it.

    The prices there are a bit more too.
