Day 2: Canton Ohio-Detroit Michigan

So after a fun night in Pittsburgh, we headed to our next destination: Detroit!

We had a few hours to burn, so we made a detour to see the Worlds Largest Teapot in Chester West Virginia.

After the brief stop, more like a slow roll, we made our way to Canton Ohio for the Pro Football Hall of Fame!

                                                  

                                                                    It got pretty flat in Ohio.

Saw my Favorite QB of all time!

Diane with some of the more recent inductees. Jerry Rice's face looked way to real!

This is the Lombardi Trophy that will be handed out THIS Superbowl in NOLA!

And Diane attempting to do the Heisman Pose!

After Canton, we headed north to Motor City USA for the Tigers - Yankees Game!

Detroit felt like an old town that's taken a beating. A once prosperous city crushed by economic downfall and Automotive bailouts. Still there were glimpses of revival. The area around the stadium was booming with bars, restaurants and theaters. There was even a rather new looking monorail! All new buildings constructed to feel and look like they've been there for a long time. 

We were running close to game time so we did not get a chance to truly explore the downtown area.

Cool Wall in Detroit!

Comerica Park was Gorgeous! The ballpark felt huge! Very spacious concourses and an awesome view from anywhere along the main level! Our Seats were way high to the left of the scoreboard! Still an awesome seat!

The stadium was rather full considering the game was on a Tuesday Night. I guess that's what having a competitive team will do (<---Angry Mets Fan) and it doesn't hurt that the Yankees were in town. They always travel well.

The game was fun! Saw a few home runs, saw Ichiro and saw Prince Fielder!

 The Final score does not truly reflect the game since the Tigers closer gave up 3 runs to make it close. As a Met fan, it felt all too familiar. As the sun went down, the Tigers went on to win the game 6-5!

2 days, 2 games, 2 wins! 

On to Milwaukee for a 1:10pm game!
