Flights at community events and the 2013 Thunderbirds' season have been canceled, according to the U.S. Air Force.
Detroit Tigers fans can keep their eyes on the field Friday during opening day. That's because Selfridge Air National Guard Base will not be participating this year in the annual flyover at Comerica Park. Potential federal sequester cuts have not only affected the beloved baseball flyover, they have also grounded goodwill flights during community events, including parades, trade shows, F-22 demonstration flights and more for the remainder of the 2013 fiscal year, according to the U.S. Air Force. "Given the current federal budget environment, the Air Force has stopped all aviation support to community events, to include our traditional fly-over of the Tigers' home opener," Technical Sgt. Dan Heaton, 127th Wing spokesman at Selfridge Air …

MDOT is helping Tigers fans headed downtown for Games 3 and 4 plan ahead by posting major lane closures and restrictions on its website.
All roads lead to Comerica Park tonight as the Tigers host the New York Yankees once again in Game 4 of the American League Division Series. A 5-3 victory in Game 2 tied the teams at 1-1, and a narrow 5-4 win Monday night gave the Tigers a 2-1 lead over the Yankees. It could all end tonight with a win by Detroit, but another tie could result in a fifth game in New York. But that's getting a little ahead of ourselves. To help fans headed downtown for Game 4, the Michigan Department of Transportation is posting major lane closures and restrictions on its website. Titled "Getting to Comerica Park," the information appears in the rotating spotlight section on the MDOT home page at www.michigan.gov/mdot. Motorists also are advised to "Know …
