ABwingsfan13 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2014 Hi, Long time reader on this forum and finally decided to join, sorry if this in the wrong section. Anyway, I'm doing a road trip from Edmonton to Detroit for game 4, and was just looking for some advice on where to watch other games while on the road and while in Detroit. It's a long drive and don't want to miss the other games so I was wondering whether anyone would know if the series would be televised in other states (North Dakota, Minnesota, etc.) as I drive down. Any other advice on what to do or see while in Detroit would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks, ABwingsfan13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FireCaptain 563 Report post Posted April 14, 2014 Use the search function for "first trip to JLA" and "first trip to detroit". There are numerous threads about where to park and where to stay and where to eat. HAVE FUN!!! /jealous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loutswings 47 Report post Posted April 14, 2014 I always like to park next to Fox and Hockeytown cafe. It was so nice to hitch a ride on the free shuttle's and after the game grab a burger at Hockeytown Cafe. 2 Branton87 and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if they are this year or not though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branton87 77 Report post Posted April 14, 2014 Most Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants I've been to have Center Ice and while I lived in Iowa and Indiana I could always watch the games there. The food is kind of expensive though, especially if you have some beers to go along with it. Aside from that I believe they'll play most games on NBC Sports and I think Sunday's game in on NBC, so if you're at a hotel then odds are you'll have the channels. I think if you have a smartphone then you can get the TuneIn radio app and listen to the games on 97.1 the Ticket if all else fails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wings4thecup06 504 Report post Posted April 14, 2014 Hockeytown Cafe is definitely worth going to, just to check out the memorabilia they have on display. Standard food in downtown Detroit for me would be Slow's BBQ on Michigan Ave. Amazing bbq. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlashyG 1,799 Report post Posted April 15, 2014 It wouldn't help you on the drive down, but when I go to games in Detroit I usually stay in Windsor. Its a very cheap and fast shuttle bus you get at the greyhound station that drops you right at the arena and any of the bars in Windsor will have every game available through the various Canadian networks. Coming from Edmonton though you'll be coming from the opposite direction and staying in Windsor probably isn't as beneficial for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smite 399 Report post Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) I am a lot closer (Kitchener, On). It is a tradition to go to Pizza Papalis in Greektown (downtown Detroit) before each game. Edited April 18, 2014 by Smite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
