Aftermath of Tigers Opening Day: Red cups, blood, rotting food, vomit, broken windows & beer bottles

Oh, the joy of Opening Day.

Early Friday afternoon, tens of thousands of Tigers fans, predominately from the suburbs, wedged into downtown for a day of debauchery and baseball Friday afternoon.

It wasn’t clear just how much fun everyone had until the sun rose this morning, shining light on piles of garbage and broken glass that stretched for more than a mile along Woodward and Cass. And what a sight it was.

Cars left in parking lots were broken into. Wind-blown red cups drifted onto exit ramps. Shards of glass were scattered across roads and sidewalks.
