Fans leaving Comerica Park can enter a promo code in the Lyft app before requesting a ride, and Wallside Windows will pay half the cost of the ride home.
"If you watch Tigers games on TV, you’re used to hearing us promote half off replacement windows that we make for your home," Wallside Windows vice president Stanford Blanck said. "Offering a safe ride home at half off seemed like a great way to provide something for fans on Opening Day."
Wallside Windows will cover half the total cost of Lyft rides up to $30, the company said.
"Lyft drivers in metro Detroit are here to provide a safe ride whenever you need one, and we’re thrilled to partner with Wallside to make this an option for fans on Opening Day," said Elliot Darvick, Lyft’s general manager for Detroit.
