A package to see the Tigers riding the Amtrak, I think its a great idea, hopefully it does do well and is expanded next year.

word is that all 4 games sold out in under 2 hours...

transit + baseball. a nice combination,

neither of which I thought I would be happy about a year ago.

wow, that's great that they all sold out, hopefully that means a bigger presence next season.

More importantly, hopefully, this will help mass transit movements in the region overall by dispelling the myth that it can't work. First, people will be lured down by ballgames, and I'm sure the next step is that these people mull just coming downtown, period, on the train. Small steps.

I sure as hell would take the train. I live about four blocks from the tracks that lead to Michigan Central Station.

That sounds like fun and a great deal! I wish I would have seen that earlier.
